Is it possible to change GAP device name in runtime without system reset?

[zvikag]

Hi, 

Please advise.

I am using (nRF5SDK160098a08e2) , nrf52840 .

This is my code to change name in Runtime not via restart or timeout.

I call the function below every 30 Sec And it does not work.

int global_counter = 0;
char str_name[64];

void setDeviceName(int name_mode)
{
ble_gap_conn_sec_mode_t sec_mode;
advertising_stop();

global_counter++;
sprintf(str_name,"Counter[%d]",global_counter);

BLE_GAP_CONN_SEC_MODE_SET_OPEN(&sec_mode);

err_code = sd_ble_gap_device_name_set(&sec_mode,(const uint8_t *) str_name,strlen(str_name));
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

gap_params_init();

advertising_start();
}

Thanks,

Zvika

Hello,

Thank you for your patience with this. The summer holidays have begun here in Norway, and DevZone is therefore operating with reduced staff for the time being. Sorry for any inconvenience this might cause.

Please have a look at this blogpost, to see how you may go about updating your advertising data dynamically.

Best regards,
Karl
