should disable softdevice when running dtm?

When performing a dtm test should the softdevice be disabled?

Such as shown in the nrf51 SDK, ble_dtm code example?

  • Yes, the softdevice must be disabled when running the DTM. This is because the DTM accesses the radio registers directly.

    If the softdevice is enabled, the application does not have access to the radio directly (you will then get a hardfault).
