That could be an alternate.

Unfortunatelly, while using the SDK 15.3, when using both

init.advdata.flags = BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAGS_LE_ONLY_LIMITED_DISC_MODE;

init.advdata.flags = BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAGS_LE_ONLY_GENERAL_DISC_MODE;

In both cases, the peripheral stops advertising after some minutes, the only thing that i found to work there is to start again the advertising while receiving the BLE_ADV_EVT_IDLE event. Is this a wrong approach?

Hi,

Since you've set BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAG_LE_LIMITED_DISC_MODE, the maximum advertising timeout allowed will be 180 seconds. If you change this to BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAG_LE_GENERAL_DISC_MODE it will be unlimited, and you can set the ble_adv_fast_timeout_set to 0 to let it advertise without a timeout.
