I use the version S132 V7.0.1 for a while and it worked well, the change done should work with V7.0.1?

Have you programmed the correct softdevice?

Hello, I tried starting advertisement from the main and it doesn't start (no error returned)
And when I incremented the value of the flags NRF_SDH_BLE_PERIPHERAL_LINK_COUNT and NRF_SDH_BLE_TOTAL_LINK_COUNT I get errors :

1- err_code = ble_advertising_init(&mm_advertising, &init); ==> error = 12289 = 0x3001 = BLE_ERROR_NOT_ENABLED

2- err_code = sq_ble_gap_tx_power_set() ==> error = 1 = 0x0001 = NRF_ERROR_SVC_HANDLER_MISSING

In the code before the first error I enable the SD!

Hi,

I don't see any reason why this should not work when you don't have any error. Have you tried starting the non-connectable advertisement from main() instead (after handling the connected event)?

Also, can you try to increase NRF_SDH_BLE_PERIPHERAL_LINK_COUNT and NRF_SDH_BLE_TOTAL_LINK_COUNT?

Yes the duration is 0 (not stopped)

The scheduler part work well when advertising for connectivity and beaconing in the same time.

As advertising (connectable or not) while connected should works, you can help me about that?.

[quote userid="61978" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/74496/beaconing-while-in-connected-state"]duration 0[/quote]

is that right?

[quote userid="61978" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/74496/beaconing-while-in-connected-state"]In my firmware I have a scheduler that run Connectivity advertisement and beaconing advertisement at the same time[/quote]

So is that part working?

It certainly is possible to do advertising (connectable or not) while connected.
