Can I copy the ESB code from SDK v3.3.0-preview3 into SDK v2.9.0, and then get the functionality in esb_ptx_ble & esb_prx_ble?
Is there any way to achieve it quickly?

Hello,
Not sure I understand what problem you are trying to solve here, there should be ESB example projects for the nRF52840 in both the nRF Connect SDK releases you are referring to.
Can I copy the ESB code from SDK v3.3.0-preview3 into SDK v2.9.0, and then get the functionality in esb_ptx_ble & esb_prx_ble?
There may be some api changes, but for most part I would expect it should be pretty straight forward possible yes.

Hello,
Using nRF Connect SDK v3.3.0, one device runs esb_ptx_ble and broadcasts 2 packets of data every 5-10ms, with 15 devices running esb_prx_ble，esb rx interval 7300ms，rx window 15ms， 30 seconds is a receiving cycle, and failure to receive a packet of data within the cycle is considered a failure; After running 15 devices for a few days, occasionally one device experiences dozens of consecutive cycles without receiving data. Why is that?
Hello Leo,
Andreas is currently tidyign up, and will be out of office for a couple of weeks, so he asked if I could look into your ticket.
One thing I struggle to understand:
Leo Mo said:I have completely abandoned the ESB+MPSL solution (my own code) in nRF Connect SDK v2.9.0.
The solution I'm currently using is nRF Connect SDK v3.30's esb_ptx_ble
Does this mean you are using NCS (nRF Connect SDK) v3.3.0, or are you using v3.3.0's ESB inside your NCS v2.9.0?
Leo Mo said:An Arduino (connected to the computer via USB) is used to monitor whether an IO operation on the RX device flips within 30 seconds (a flip indicates at least one data packet has been received). After 7-10 days of operation, 1-2 RX devices may experience periods of 5-10 hours without receiving data.
Perhaps I just hasn't read the entire post properly, but you have got your setup working, but after a while, some devices experience a long time when they do not receive any messages (5-10 hours), and then they start picking up messages again? Or do you reset the devices, and then they start picking up messages again? Or what do you observe?
Best regards,
Edvin
Hi Edvin,
Edvin Updated.
I‘m using NCS v3.3.0.
I did not restart the device.
I observed the following:
1. Sometimes, no data is received for 3-10 consecutive hours.
2. Sometimes, no data is received for several minutes, then data is received again. There are no restart logs, so the program should be running normally, just not receiving data.
Some err logs, It lasted for a long time.

Hello Leo,
Are you able to replicate this issue on 2x nRF52840 DKs? If so, is it possible to upload an application that can reproduce the issue without any external components attached?
Best regards,
Edvin
Hi Edvin,
I tried to reproduce the issue using the nRF52840 DK, but haven't encountered it yet. As mentioned earlier, it might take 5-10 days for the problem to appear.
Best regards,
Leo
I understand. Let me know if you are able to.
I canæt see that you have uploaded any code (other than snippets). But looking at NCS v3.3.0, these lines:
[00:08:53.592,987] <err> esb: Failed to initialize PPI [00:08:54.115,539] <err> esb: gppi_channel_alloc failed with: -12
Seems to come from:
v3.3.0\nrf\subsys\esb\esb.c:
static mpsl_timeslot_signal_return_param_t *ts_start_action(void)
{
nrf_radio_mode_set(NRF_RADIO, (nrf_radio_mode_t)esb_cfg.bitrate);
update_radio_crc();
update_rf_payload_format(esb_cfg.payload_length);
update_radio_addresses(ADDR_UPDATE_MASK_BASE0 | ADDR_UPDATE_MASK_BASE1 |
ADDR_UPDATE_MASK_PREFIX);
nrf_radio_fast_ramp_up_enable_set(NRF_RADIO, esb_cfg.use_fast_ramp_up);
#if defined(CONFIG_ESB_FAST_CHANNEL_SWITCHING)
nrf_radio_int_enable(NRF_RADIO, NRF_RADIO_INT_RXREADY_MASK);
#endif /* defined(CONFIG_ESB_FAST_CHANNEL_SWITCHING) */
apply_radio_init_workarounds();
int err = esb_ppi_init();
if (err) {
LOG_ERR("Failed to initialize PPI");
and v3.3.0\nrf\subsys\esb\esb_ppi.c:
...
error:
LOG_ERR("gppi_channel_alloc failed with: %d\n", ch);
return -ENODEV;
}
-12 means -ENOMEM
So it is trying to allocate a PPI channel, but it can't because it has used all it's resources (channels?).
Are you using the SoftDevice controller as well as ESB?
You say that it takes several days to reproduce. Does that mean that the application has executed for several days before the issue occurs, or does it fail quickly after a reset/reboot?
Can you please confirm whether you did any (!) changes to the two files where this log comes from? That is, esb.c and esb_ppi.c?
Is esb_init() called several times in your application? Or just once at bootup?
Is esb_disabled called before each re-init attempt (if any)?
Do you have any logs from when the issue starts and/or stops? That is, the lines before the repeating two-liner, or the lines when it manages to recover from it? Do they say anything interesting?
Best regards,
Edvin
