sd_ble_gap_address_set works for normal mode only?

[Sarah]

Hi,

I have learned that you can change the MAC address on a device by using sd_ble_gap_address_set. However, when I press the sw2 button on the beacon (running a modified version of the ble_app_beacon app), the beacon switches back to its original MAC address. I don't understand why this is happening. How can I set the MAC address so that it will stay the same for both normal and config modes?

Thanks!

I figured out how to do this. The main function is called after evert reset, so the value in the MAC characteristic needs to be read from flash and then this value should be used to set the device MAC address. It works after that.
