How do I run a long operation without disrupting a BLE link?

When using the softdevice, the softdevice has the highest interrupt priority. Therefore, driving a piezo element will not block the softdevice. The Exception (interrupt) management with a SoftDevice chapter in the S130 softdevice specification shows the interrupt priorities used by the softdevice, and which interrupt priorities the application should use.

The softdevice will interrupt you any time it needs to, so the length of your operation isn't likely to be a problem. Getting a nice buzz may be as you'll get interrupted all the time and have weird glitches.

So if you are 'getting link loss' it's more likely you're doing something else which is causing an error or hardfault in some other piece of code. So I'd go looking there.
