I started our project based on the examples/ble_peripheral/ble_app_uart project, which worked fine. However, I needed to modify the advertisement data, so I tried to merge in some code from the ble_app_beacon</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 05 Jun 2020 09:42:37 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/62185/assigning-manufacturing-data-to-advertisement-truncates-the-device-name" /><item><title>RE: Assigning manufacturing data to advertisement truncates the device name??</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/253473?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 05 Jun 2020 09:42:37 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:75799951-5829-4c61-b8ce-260b20e67364</guid><dc:creator>Karl Ylvisaker</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suspect that you have exceeded the 31 byte advertisement length limit, which is why your name is being cut short.&lt;br /&gt;Be advised that each new data field comes with two bytes overhead - one to indicate length, and one to indicate type.&lt;br /&gt;Alternatively, you could also use the SHORTENED name option, to maximally allocate 6 bytes to device name.&lt;br /&gt;Could you verify that the contents of your advertisements does not exceed 31 bytes in total, when the device name is cut short?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additionally, are you familiar with using the &lt;a href="https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-tools/Development-Tools/nRF-Sniffer-for-Bluetooth-LE"&gt;nRF Sniffer tool&lt;/a&gt;? It is a powerful tool to wield when developing BLE applications, and would allow you to see the contents of the advertisements your device is transmitting, as they appear to other devices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best regards,&lt;br /&gt;Karl&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
