BLE stack sharing RTC0 after sd_ble_gap_adv_stop()?

[Brian]

Hey all. I'm working on a really simple beacon application and I'd like to use RTC0 when the BLE stack isn't using it... is that possible? No BLE connections, just 1 advertisement per sec on the nrf51822. And I only advertise for 1 sec.

sd_ble_gap_adv_stop(); (or advertising times out)

//can I use the RTC0 here?

sd_ble_gap_adv_start();

Would this work OK?
Thanks! Brian

Hi. Sorry for the delayed response. To regain complete control over RTC0 (and other peripherals protected by the Softdevice) you should disable the Softdevice completely by calling sd_softdevice_disable();
