Hi,

I suggest to continue look at the BLE peripheral examples and also documentation for reference:

https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.1.0/lib_ble_advertising.html
https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.1.0/lib_ble_adv_data.html

There are also some old, but conseptually should be good, tutorials on advertisment here:

https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/guides/short-range-guides/b/bluetooth-low-energy/posts/ble-advertising-a-beginners-tutorial
https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/guides/short-range-guides/b/bluetooth-low-energy/posts/bluetooth-smart-and-the-nordics-softdevices-part-1

If you want to to update the advertisment packet, the easiest is just to stop, update, and start again.

When something is not working, e.g. "advertisement not working", it is important that you build your project with for instance Debug instead of Release, then debug output window should contain information about the error, such as file name, line number, and the exact error code.
