s110 advertising best practices?

[kirkus]

Different examples for s110 use different methods to configure advertising, sd_ble_gap_adv_start() and ble_advertising_init(). What is the guidance for choosing between the softdevice library advertising features vs. the BLE advertising module?

I guess this module came with SDK 7 or 8, and not all examples has been updated with it. Also, the module only supports connectable BLE advertisements, so for e.g. beacons, this module should not be used.

The advertising module came with SDK 8.0.0. You can find more information about it here.

It is in the SDK to make it easier to implement typical "connectable advertising" scenarioes.
