&lt;p&gt;This is very informative. Thank you so much for this. I am able to set custom data to advertising but is it possible to set this data in custom type or any frame type that I wish to advertise? For more information about my question &lt;a href="/f/nordic-q-a/85295/softdevice---write-custom-ble-advertise-with-custom-type"&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am new to BLE and nrf SDK and I have the following the doubts,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Is this tutorial example a non connectable advertisement?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. I went through the program but couldnt find advertisement type not&amp;nbsp;defined anywhere?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. There is a separate function to initialize GAP parameters, do we need to initialize apart from advertisement init? I mean dont adv_init in turn initialize the gap params as well?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please dont mind if the questions are to silly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks in advance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://test-devzone.nordicsemi.com/aggbug?PostID=1165&amp;AppID=12&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Bluetooth low energy Advertising, a beginner&amp;#39;s tutorial</title><link>https://test-devzone.nordicsemi.com/guides/short-range-guides/b/bluetooth-low-energy/posts/ble-advertising-a-beginners-tutorial</link><pubDate>Mon, 03 Feb 2020 19:44:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:6912b39f-a72a-47d5-97b9-240b2a62d8e4</guid><dc:creator>user83774</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Open nRF Connect and start discovery using your nRF52 Dongle as master emulator&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://test-devzone.nordicsemi.com/aggbug?PostID=1165&amp;AppID=12&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Bluetooth low energy Advertising, a beginner&amp;#39;s tutorial</title><link>https://test-devzone.nordicsemi.com/guides/short-range-guides/b/bluetooth-low-energy/posts/ble-advertising-a-beginners-tutorial</link><pubDate>Tue, 10 Sep 2019 17:32:16 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:6912b39f-a72a-47d5-97b9-240b2a62d8e4</guid><dc:creator>user83258</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;I get this error: &amp;quot;nordic_common.h&amp;quot;: No such file or directory, on SDK 8 and SDK15.
