Example of using internal oscillator with BLE?

[Jeffrey Haynes]

Can someone please post a simple example of using the internal oscillator with BLE?  Modifying the ble_app_blinky example to use the RC would be ideal.  No matter what I do I can't get it to work (depending on what I try I get different internal errors) and simply changing the sdk_config does not seem to work.

which internal oscillator, the 32kHz or the 16/64MHz (you don't say what chip you're using). What 'internal errors', we can't guess.

I wonder why the forum forces you to select the part if it isn’t going to show up here...

NRF52840. Various errors. I’m looking for an example of how to do this correctly, not feedback on what I’ve tried. Thanks.

and you still didn't answer the question about which internal oscillator you're trying to use. If it's the internal HF clock oscillator then the simple answer is you can't do it.

Hi Jeff,

In sdk_config.h, make sure that you have the following:
