[51822][S110] Is there a switch for turn off the softdevice

[xtting]

Hi,

I need to debug my perpheral device, but as I know if I do debug when SD is running, it can cuase the time sync issue, then cause the hard-fault. I know there's a way to use UART to show the log, but I don't think it is feasible for me, for there's many calculate and I want to see each step's result. And I don't want to switch my code between with and without the SD code as I always did.

I there a switch to shutoff the SD completely, then I can keep all my code not change, but all the api don't do any real work, then there is no time sync issue.

Thanks, Tao

You can turn of the SoftDevice using sd_softdevice_disable(), but then you have to make sure that you do not call sd_ functions when it is disabled.

An alternative to UART Logging is Real-Time Terminal(RTT), see this tutorial.

Did you end up using sd_softdevice_disable() or RTT ?

Hi,

These days I'm learing the BLE theory, I didn't touch my code yet. But I believe it's useful for me, especailly for RTT.
