casting pointers

[Stanislav Silnitskiy]

Hello!

I've bumped into the issue with casting...

main.c:
static ble_gap_addr_t addr0;
static uint16_t *p_host0;

int main(void) {
    p_host0 = (void*)&addr0.addr[0];

works fine, but...

beacon.c:
static ble_gap_addr_t addr1;
static uint16_t *p_host1;

void init_beacon(void) {
   p_host1 = (void*)&addr1.addr[0];

hungs in assignment when I call init_beacon() from main()

Where is rake?

It must be memory alignment issue.

definitely it is:

**Cortex-M0 Devices Generic User Guide

Home > The Cortex-M0 Instruction Set > About the instruction descriptions > Address alignment

3.3.4. Address alignment

An aligned access is an operation where a word-aligned address is used for a word, or multiple word access, or where a halfword-aligned address is used for a halfword access. Byte accesses are always aligned. There is no support for unaligned accesses on the Cortex-M0 processor. Any attempt to perform an unaligned memory access operation results in a HardFault exception.**
