ble_advertising_init_t VS ble_gap_adv_params_t

[Steven983]

I'am studying the ble examples under SDK16.0.0. In the Uart example, the structure of ble_advertising_init_t is used to initiate the advertising module. However, the stucture of  ble_gap_adv_params_t  is used in the blinky example. What is the difference between these two types of structure? And how to choose them in different situations?

These are well documented in my opinion ble_advertising_init_t and ble_gap_adv_params_t

In short, the first one are initialization params for initialized the SDK advertising module which can be configured to manage advertising features automatically.

The second one is the params for setting the actual params directly into the Softdevice bypassing the top SDKadvertising module.
