crc blocking

[Elektrika]

Greetings from a Nordic newbie!

I am currently merging an existing AD 433MHz transceiver with a nRF51422 so that I can read an ANT+ heartrate monitor to our existing functionality.

My big question is, can I loose my existing processor.

Right now, I need to process incoming data 1 bit a time from a AD 433MHz radio, at a rate of 1200 baud. So on every cycle from the existing radio I do a CRC comparison of my incoming data (which I need to que) with my CRC block.

This poses two problems:

1. Can I deterministically respond to the external radios 1200Hz interrupt while the S110 firmware is running? This seems to be in the order of 400uS so it seems I am ok.

and

2. How long will the nRF51422 block my access to the CRC module? I assume the firmware will lock me out and vice versa so that we do not stand on each others data (is it that easy?).

Thanks in advance Steve

Thanks for the quick response. This will allow me to start designing the PCB.
