Custom nRF52 board partially start

Fabien Comte

Hello, I just produced my custom board with nRF52 but i have a problem.

I can program it (SWD over nRF52 DK), debug it (segger debudder software) but in bootloader it enter in function ble_stack_init and never goes out.

Does someone have an idea what to check please ?

If external oscillator problem is a way to investigate, are they already on or nRF52 use an internal oscillator ?

    I'm confused by the load capacitance discussion. The crystal should be fine, you just need the correct load caps on the board to match it. However I don't know how run_ar knows you have 10pf caps on there, perhaps he has secret information about your board layout to which I'm not privy!

    If you switch the load caps to something closer to 14pF than 10pF (if infact you have 10pF on the board) then you should be close to the 9pF load the crystal wants.

    selftest - you could try. Right at the start, before you do anything else, start some kind of timer using the HF clock, start the LF clock, see how long it takes for the LF clock to start, if it starts at all, make a decision that way. That's a test you could run one time on each board and save the result somewhere non-volatile so you start up directly the next time.
