Adding ADV/SCAN_RSP data

Question

HI Nordic, 
 I am working PCA10040, SDK17.0.2, ble_app_uart routine. 
 I'm try to add ADV/SCAN_RSP data, but when I add some field, such as p_manuf_specific_data or service_data_count, the board can't run up. 
 After execution, I found the program generate an error at ble_advdata_encode(ble_advdata.c line 612). 
 It seems that the program ran out of control. 
 What's the right way to do this? 
 static void advertising_init(void)
{
 uint32_t err_code;
 ble_advertising_init_t init;
 int8_t myarray[6] = {0x02,0x03,0x02,0x01,0x05,0x09};

 memset(&init, 0, sizeof(init));

 init.advdata.name_type = BLE_ADVDATA_FULL_NAME;
 init.advdata.include_appearance = false;
 init.advdata.flags = BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAGS_LE_ONLY_LIMITED_DISC_MODE;
 //init.advdata.p_tx_power_level= myarray;

 init.srdata.uuids_complete.uuid_cnt = sizeof(m_adv_uuids) / sizeof(m_adv_uuids[0]);
 init.srdata.uuids_complete.p_uuids = m_adv_uuids;
 //init.srdata.p_tx_power_level = myarray;
 //init.srdata.p_manuf_specific_data->company_identifier = 0x4c;
 init.srdata.service_data_count = 3;

 init.config.ble_adv_fast_enabled = true;
 init.config.ble_adv_fast_interval = APP_ADV_INTERVAL;
 init.config.ble_adv_fast_timeout = APP_ADV_DURATION;
 init.evt_handler = on_adv_evt;

 err_code = ble_advertising_init(&m_advertising, &init);
 APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

 ble_advertising_conn_cfg_tag_set(&m_advertising, APP_BLE_CONN_CFG_TAG);
}

Hello, 
 After execution, I found the program generate an error at ble_advdata_encode(ble_advdata.c line 612). 
 Which error code is returned by ble_advdata_encode? It could be that you are passing it invalid data, either as not formatted correctly, or not matching your sdk_config defines. Please make sure to have DEBUG defined in your preprocessor defines, like shown in the included image: 
 
 This will make a detailed error message be output to your logger. You could also see the ble_app_beacon example, for a demonstration on how place data in your scan response. Best regards, Karl
