nrf51802 - ble soft device compatability?

[Larry Harmon]

I am trying to run the ble_app_beacon example on an nrf51802 device.

The call to sd_softdevice_enable() never returns (jumps to 0xFFFFFFF9) The fault handler is not called. The function misbehaves after executing at address 0x6B4.

I am using a custom PCB which has a 16MHz crystal, but no 32Khz crystal, and as such have recoded the call to sd_softdevice_enable as follows: err_code = sd_softdevice_enable(NULL, softdevice_fault_handler); // err_code = sd_softdevice_enable(p_clock_lf_cfg, softdevice_fault_handler);

Using sdk 12.0.0 and IAR.

NOTE: The app runs fine on a pca10001

Thanks in advance, Larry

I finally got the beacon to run. It seams that the softdevice was not properly loaded. I had been trying to use the IAR/J-Link feature to load an extra image file (the softdevice), but that did not seem to work. I used nrfjprog and now the beacon starts (most of the time)

Sure wish nrf studio supported the 802!!
