Creating service with const char*

[johnathanchiu]

I have an issue when creating a new service with a const char *. It seems like createService function works with input type of const char * but whenever I try to do something like

const char *a = "hi";
...
BLEService *pService = pServer->createService(a);

The code compiles fine but it seems to have some sort of issue trying to access memory. See the following:

rst:0xc (SW_CPU_RESET),boot:0x13 (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT)
configsip: 0, SPIWP:0xee
clk_drv:0x00,q_drv:0x00,d_drv:0x00,cs0_drv:0x00,hd_drv:0x00,wp_drv:0x00

Okay, I understand the issue now. I specifically was trying to use the "Device Information" string as a direct UUID. There are pre-assigned UUIDs for these specific services.
