How do I raise an interrupt from application code?

[Eliot Stock]

I have a main loop in my application like this:

while (true)
{
  // Other calls left out here.

  app_sched_execute();

  err_code = sd_app_evt_wait();
  APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
}

I'm now in a situation where one of my scheduled functions has executed and I need the main loop to iterate. But it's blocked at sd_app_evt_wait(). I could reverse the order of app_sched_execute() and sd_app_evt_wait() but that has the potential to cause other problems.

How do I generate an interrupt from application code? The soft device is enabled.

Hi, if you are not using radio notifications from the softdevice, then both SWI0 and SWI1 can be used by the application. Typically the SWI0 is used by the app_timer module, but the SWI1 is not used. You can look at the app_timer module as reference on how to enable and set the SWI1 pending.

Looks good, thanks.
