MDBT42Q BLE not advertising when using simple SDK ble examples

Question

Hi everyone, and thanks for all the help provided on this site ! 
 I have tried to flash a MDBT42Q using the nrf82832-DK (PCA10040) and it works fine for simple peripheral examples (like GPIOs, entering sleep modes...). 
 But when I try to upload ble-peripheral examples such as ble-blinky or ble-app-uart the upload goes fine, but the device doesn't seem to advertise any data. I have tried to change the NRF_SDH_CLOCK_LF_SRC parameter to 0 and the NRF_SDH_CLOCK_LF_ACCURACY parameter to 1 as described in this topic , but with no success. 
 Has anyone managed to make the MDBT42Q work with the ble_app_uart example ? 
 FYI : I am using Segger Embedded Studio v6.30 and the nrf SDK v17.1.0. 
 
 Thanks a lot for your help !

Ok, new update, 
 I found this topic which indicated the following values for the parameters : 
 NRF_SDH_CLOCK_LF_RC_CTIV =16 and NRF_SDH_CLOCK_LF_RC_TEMP_CTIV=2 
 I changed it like this in the sdk_config.h file, and it worked ! 
 So to sum up the changes I had to make for it work : 
 
 Use Segger version 6.20 or older 
 Comment out the line APP_ERROR_HANDLER(p_event->data.error_communication); 
 Change NRF_SDH_CLOCK_LF_SRC to 0 and NRF_SDH_CLOCK_LF_ACCURACY to 1 to activate the internal oscillator 
 Change NRF_SDH_CLOCK_LF_RC_CTIV =16 and NRF_SDH_CLOCK_LF_RC_TEMP_CTIV=2
