Sorry to hear that, it works for me. An option could be to use the arm-none-eabi-gdb debugger.

Thank you for your answer, But "step into" button next to the disassembly output cannot help.

Hi mark,

The mesh stack uses the SoftDevice Timeslot API which requires it to yield its processing context back to the SoftDevice before its timeslot has ended. If you halt the program execution and step normally, the stack will exceed the allocated timeslot without yielding back to the SoftDevice. Upon stepping, the debugger re-enables interrupts and the SoftDevice asserts. A workaround is to step instruction-wise. In GDB this is si, in SEGGER Embedded studio, you click the "step into" button next to the disassembly output:

Hope this helps,
Thomas
