mpsl_init: MPSL ASSERT: 112, 2223 - NCS v2.5.2

Question

Hi,

I am trying to port the DTM example to our board, 52833 based but when DTM is initialised I get about 1400ms of CW then:

It's worth noting that the BLE stack is still compiled in, though in this example I'm not calling bt_enable(). That said I'm hoping I might be able to have it start in BLE until a characteristic write happens then stop BLE and switch to DTM.

Anyway hoping someone can shed some light on the ASSERT.

Thanks!

Hi, 
 Glad to hear you've made progress on this. We currently do not have any samples demonstrating how to combine DTM and BLE in a single firmware image. 
 BillB said: So maybe that'd be enough, but still it'd be better for me if I could use the BLE trigger since I'd like to use the char write to pick the frequency. That still doesn't work - I still get the same MPSL ASSERT. Note that in this case the char write handler is setting a flag that causes the main thread to do: 
 Please check if the return value from bt_disable() is zero and not a negative error code. As an alternative (a 'hack'), you could use one of the retention registers (GPREGRET – 1 byte each) to store the DTM configuration or mode you want to use, and then call sys_reboot() (equivalent to NVIC_SystemReset) so you can enter DTM on subsuequent boot before enabling the BLE stack.
