BLE not advertising - STM32WB5MMGH

[LR.2]

Hi,
I'm working with stm32wb5mmgh to transmit data. The thing is BLE starts to advertise only in the debug mode if I upload it in the device its not showing. So what I did I turned on led when it starts to advertise as I mentioned in the below code.

/* Update Advertising data */
ret = aci_gap_update_adv_data(sizeof(a_AdvData), (uint8_t*) a_AdvData);
if (ret != BLE_STATUS_SUCCESS)
{
APP_DBG_MSG("==>> Start Fast Advertising Failed , result: %d \n\r", ret);
}
else
{
APP_DBG_MSG("==>> Success: Start Fast Advertising \n\r");
HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOA, GPIO_PIN_9, GPIO_PIN_SET);
}

The LED turned on after I uploaded the code but the BLE is not showing.

Used FUS Version : v1.2.0.0, STACK Version : v1.16.0.4, stm32wb5x_BLE_Stack_full_fw.bin.

Also I change the linker Script as mentioned in this wiki link. I also share the linker script.

can any one help me with this issue??!!

Hello,

The modification around the linker script describes in the wiki pages need to be done when using extended binaries (stm32wbxx_BLE_Stack_full_extended_fw.bin, stm32wbxx_BLE_HCILayer_extended_fw.bin), in your case it's not needed. You are currently facing to this issue:
