NRF SDK compilation issue

[Vandana G S]

Hi,

I am trying to compile ble_advertising.c file for a specific application based on nrf52840 and I am getting the following error:

nRF5_SDK_15.3.0_59ac345/components/ble/ble_advertising/ble_advertising.c:243:41: error: 'BLE_GAP_ADV_TYPE_EXTENDED_CONNECTABLE_NONSCANNABLE_DIRECTED' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'BLE_GAP_ADV_TYPE_CONNECTABLE_NONSCANNABLE_DIRECTED'?

Please help me in solving this error.

Thank you,

Hi,

What softdevice and version are you using with the nRF52840?

I suggest to use the latest nRF5 SDK v17.0.2, it may be that the softdevice in nRF5 SDK v15.3 does not support what you want.

The soft device that I am using is components/softdevice/s140/hex/s140 nrf52 6.1.1 softdevice. The project is made for  nRF SDK 15.3 and it was created to run on XM122 IoT module developed by Acconeer. While compiling this file I had problem in providing NRF SDK path in global macros. Hence I have updated the header files in preprocessor manually. Is it possible that I have missed including any header files to get this kind of error?

Possible yes, but I think you may have included a softdevice header files that does not support the extended advertisement (e.g. you have included S112 instead of S140).
