Hi,
I have updated the device application firmware from nRF Connect SDK v2.6.1 to v2.7.0.
The firmware was working fine in v2.6.1 without issue. But the same firmware is running into hard fault for SDK v2.7.0
In log, I can see the USAGE FAULT error. It shows the Illegal use of the EPSR and sometimes Unaligned memory access. Following is the error detail,

The device is working as a BLE extender and has a central and peripheral role. (1 peripheral and multiple central).
I observed an error occur in the device when it is already connected (via peripheral) and it initiates a connection to another peripheral (using central).
The extender device has an nRF52840 chip and uses nRF Connect SDK v2.7.0.
Would you please help me to debug and fix this issue?
Let me know any other information require.
Thanks,
Narendra.
