Hi,

How do I know if I'm in debug mode or not?

Thanks,

Hi.

The chip cannot be put in system_off when in Debug mode. It will most likely work when you run it without the debugger, but you should confirm this with a test.

UPDATE 2016.10.14:

The chip will be put in emulated system off mode if in debug interface mode and calling sd_power_system_off(). This will lead to the CPU executing code after the call. Therefore it is recommended to add an infinite loop after going system off. See this and this post.

I am running with a PCA10036 board (IAR compiler). I also just confirmed that this happens with the bare 'ble_app_template' demo.
