How do I solve this SoftDevice assert when I use IAR monitor mode debugger ?

[george]

I have integrated IAR code into my company system. with the Jlink_monitor.c, jlink_monitor.h , jlink_monitor_ISR_ISR.s and enableMonitorMode.mac.

Step 1: I loaded code to Nordic NRF52 target, set breakpoint. Step 2: once IAR hit breakpoint, then I did single step, then system reboot. with the message on the RTT console: :ERROR:SoftDevice assert PC=0x0001089e <==== ==== === It looks like to me IAR still can not work with Nordic NRF52 in monitor mode.

Do you have solution for this case ( IAR, Monitor mode with Nordic NRF52 softDevice) ?

I use nRF5_SDK_12.0.0_12f24da softDevice library.

Hi Leonwj:

1. Are you getting the Monitor Mode missing license prompt to indicate the MMD is being invoked. mmd prompt

ANSWER:I do get MMD PROMPT, attached is my monitor mode pop-up window . Inline image 1

2. Are you using the correct jlink-monitor ISR file for IAR Workbench, namely; JLINK_MONITOR_ISR_IAR.s This file is contained in the JLink_Monitor_Code.zip file within the linked blog post. Answer: I used the same JLINK_MONITOR_ISR_IAR.s, see attached file I used:

3. Have you tried any of the MMD example projects and managed to get those working under IAR/MMD in your environment? Answer: I added those monitor files ( JLINK_MONITOR_ISR_IAR.s,, JLINK_MONITOR.c, JLINK_MONITOR.H and EnableMonitorMode.mac ) to .\nRF5_SDK_12.0.0_12f24da\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_hrs. It looks like IAR OK in monitor mode debugger.

   If this is not the MMD example projects you expected..... please let me know which examples I should use ( please pass dir path)?
