UART not working in nRF52832 as an observer role only.

[Ans Hafeez]

I am using a nRF52832 which act as an observer role only and what is observe it send observed data to another device over UART.

When i turn off scanning and just run UART it works properly but when scanning is on it doesn't send any data on UART. When I add a break point on UART function then it again works.

The program doesn't stuck at any point and it continuously scan the advertising data. I am not getting whats going wrong with UART.

I have added the UART function 'app_uart_put' in that function 'find_adv_uuid()'

I have just edit the ble_app_hrs_c central example and add the UART code from UART example.

Finally put a uart function in find uuid function.

Have a look on following function Observer +UART.rar

static bool find_adv_uuid(const ble_gap_evt_adv_report_t *p_adv_report, const uint16_t uuid_to_find)
 {

    //Send data on UART
    while (app_uart_put('1') != NRF_SUCCESS);


  uint32_t err_code;
  data_t   adv_data;
  data_t   type_data;

  // Initialize advertisement report for parsing.
  adv_data.p_data     = (uint8_t *)p_adv_report->data;
  adv_data.data_len   = p_adv_report->dlen;

  err_code = adv_report_parse(BLE_GAP_AD_TYPE_16BIT_SERVICE_UUID_MORE_AVAILABLE,
                            &adv_data,
                            &type_data);

 


uint8_t uuid_start = 9;
uint8_t uuid_end = 24;

uint8_t major_start = 25;
uint8_t major_end = 26;
uint8_t minor_start = 27;
uint8_t minor_end = 28;

int chk =1;
int j=0;
int sec=1;

for (int i =uuid_start; i<=uuid_end;i++)
{ 
	if (p_adv_report->data[i] == uuid_two[j])
	{
		sec++;
		if (sec==17)
			nrf_gpio_pin_toggle(LED1);
	}
	else if (p_adv_report->data[i] == uuid_one[j])
	{
		chk++;
		if(chk ==17)
			nrf_gpio_pin_toggle(LED);		
	}	
}
j++;

}
return false;

}

When It found the nearby device then LED blinks but not data send over UART. When I run it in debugger then it works fine and send data over UART.

The difference between running in normal mode and debug mode, is that in debug mode the HFCLK is running.

Which error code does app_uart_put() return?

[Ans Hafeez]

Its shows NRF_SUCCESS error code is 0x00000000

Could you upload your project here, so that I can test it? Which version of the SDK and softdevice do you use?

[Ans Hafeez]

Observer +UART.rar is added in answer

Thanks Now its working
