How to configure to stop system off after 3 minutes?

GT Software

On custom nRF51422 hardware with S110, I eventually found that after 3 minutes the advertising timeout turns off the system. I reproduced it by using the nRF SDK v9 project ble_app_uart_s110_pca10028

These links mention the 3 minutes timeout

devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../

developer.nordicsemi.com/.../a00076.html

What is the correct way to stop a system off?

Is it by configuration of pca100028.h or ble_advertising.h or perhaps by removing the event handler code?

    Are you using directed advertising? If you have BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAGS_LE_ONLY_LIMITED_DISC_MODE flag added to advertising parameters, then you can't set timeout any higher than 180. Higher advertising timeouts only work on general discovery mode i.e. BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAGS_LE_ONLY_GENERAL_DISC_MODE. In SDK 8.0 there is also a bug in the code, which prevents you to set infinite timeout, therefore, you have to either set the timeout to some high number or restart advertising after timeout.
