Debug Signal that indicates when Soft Device is running?

[ahedin25]

Is it possible to have a debug signal that indicates when the soft device is running?

[Wojtek]

what kind of debug signal...? You just could use GPIO after enabling/disabling softdevice to indicate it outside of the chip. what is your goal?

[ahedin25]

A GPIO. I want to know when the soft device is running and when it is not. I want to know when my application is not running and know how long application interrupts are being blocked.

[Wojtek]

Oh, by running you mean activity, not the enable/disable state. There is timeslot feature in the SD, you could check that. What do you need that info for? edit. i am not sure if timeslots are for radio only, or all irqs

[ahedin25]

To visualize how many FreeRTOS ticks are being blocked the Soft Device.

@Ahedin: You can use radio notification event to know when the radio is active or not. Read more about it in the Softdevice's product spec.
