NRF_ERROR_INVALID_ADDR in ble_uart_example / SDK 14.2.0

[hberg]

Hello,

i'm trying to run the ble_uart_example on my nRF52840 eval-board, but it always fails on this line:

err_code = ble_advertising_init(&m_advertising, &init);
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

It fails by reporting this error message on the RTT Viewer:

0> <error> app: ERROR 16 [NRF_ERROR_INVALID_ADDR] at ..\..\..\main.c:635

My setup:

• nRF52840 Eval-board (PCA10056)
• S140 Softdevice Version 5.0.0-3.alpha (6.0.0-6.alpha same issue)
• nRF SDK 14.2.0

It seems like there is an issue with sd_ble_gap_adv_data_set(...), but i can't find out why it is failing. The parameter-pointers are existing and point to an existing array.

Thanks.

Kevin

Hi hberg!
As stated in the infocenter, the sd_ble_gap_adv_data_set() returning error 16 (NRF_ERROR_INVALID_ADDR) implies; Invalid pointer supplied.
Maybe you could post the advertising_init part of your code?
Best regards.

Hello Joakim,

it is not my code, it's the example ble_uart_example from the SDK example folder (\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_uart\main.c). The code i posted (ble_advertising_init(..)) is from the line 635. Kevin

Have you tried using the softdevice that came with the SDK (S140 Softdevice Version 5.0.0-2.alpha)?

[hberg]

Yes, i tried the included softdevice and also the same version of the softdevice from the nordic download page.

That's strange. I'm not able to reproduce your problem.
Maybe you could upload your project so I can test it?
Best regards.
