Keil's EventRecorder, is it soft device safe?

[SRA]

Keil worked in a new EventRecorder feature that uses some SWD buffer memory to push data out to the IDE/Debugger, and an XML format that makes this data useful and laid out logically. Like a really fancy Watch Window but with logging and defined meanings.

To use it one would call something like:

EventRecord2 (id+8bytes);

And define the ID and data in the XML file if you want a nice representation.

Is there any way to know this is or is not radio safe for BLE / SoftDevices?

Hi SRA,

This looks very much like Segger's SystemViewer.

I have experimented with systemview and also few others as discussioned in this blog. They do not conflict with softdevice.

I have not read full details of Keil's EventRecorder, but if it does not conflict with softdevice interrupt priorities then it should be safe to use both together.

Looks like it.

Now I just need to wonder if Segger's solution is better for the graphical qualities and universalness of it - or Keil's is more ideal for the better XML usage and that it's built into the IDE.

Ok. I'll figure it out and see how well it works with the SD. Thanks.
