Set AdvertData during initialization

I found a way to have a SUCCESS return value when I set the GAPROLE_ADVERT_DATA inside the SensorTag_init() function. I changed only the following lines in the SensorTag example code:


/*******************************************************************************
* @fn SensorTag_init
*
* @brief Called during initialization and contains application
* specific initialization (ie. hardware initialization/setup,
* table initialization, power up notification, etc), and
* profile initialization/setup.
*
* @param none
*
* @return none
*/
static void SensorTag_init(void)
{
...

// Setup the GAP Peripheral Role Profile
{
// For all hardware platforms, device starts advertising upon initialization
uint8_t initialAdvertEnable = FALSE;

...

// Set the GAP Role Parameters
GAPRole_SetParameter(GAPROLE_ADVERT_ENABLED, sizeof(uint8_t),
&initialAdvertEnable);

...

//GAPRole_SetParameter(GAPROLE_ADVERT_DATA, sizeof(advertData), advertData);

...

// Start the Device
GAPRole_StartDevice(&SensorTag_gapRoleCBs);

initialAdvertEnable = TRUE;

GAPRole_SetParameter(GAPROLE_ADVERT_ENABLED, sizeof(uint8_t),
&initialAdvertEnable);

GAPRole_SetParameter(GAPROLE_ADVERT_DATA, sizeof(advertData), advertData);

...
}


Then what I am doing now is just start the device without advertising, and only after the GAPRole_StartDevice() enable the advertising and set the data. Please let me know if this procedure is correct or there are side effects that I do not know, thank you.

Kind Regards,

I don't see GAP_UpdateAdvertisingData() getting called in the init function of the BLE 2.2.0 release. Where are you seeing this?

Hello Tim,

unfortunately I am still working with BLE 2.1.1, are you no more supporting that?
