and start advertising (BLE_GAP_EVT_DISCONNECTED) that is ble spec?

how to advertising while connection?

please help me

when BLE_GAP_EVT_CONNECTED , call advertising_start() function, return error 8 (NRF_ERROR_INVALID_STATE / Invalid state to perform operation.) how to advertising while connection??

[cucu]

my code

 switch (p_ble_evt->header.evt_id)
    {
        case BLE_GAP_EVT_CONNECTED:
			m_display_state = LEDS_IPV6_IF_DOWN;
			m_conn_handle = p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt.conn_handle; 

			
			err_code = sd_ble_gap_adv_stop();
			APPL_LOG ("[APPL]:[sd_ble_gap_adv_stop][err_code:%d]\n" , err_code);
		
		    // Initialize advertising parameters (used when starting advertising).
    

    m_adv_params.type = BLE_GAP_ADV_TYPE_ADV_NONCONN_IND;
    err_code = sd_ble_gap_adv_start(&m_adv_params); // error code - NRF_ERROR_INVALID_STATE

Your approach is correct, but the IoT SoftDevice currently doesn't support broadcasting while in a active connection.

thanks your answer.. but i have one more question. in coap observe server example, to observe always do active connection.. than advertising are always not active??

I'm not sure I understand. To observe you are always in a connection, and you can't advertise while in a connection.
