Hi Devin,

I am sorry for the late reply, I am on my vacation as many others in Norway. I would be back after 2 weeks, and if you wish, I can assign this case to someone else, but the response will still be limited as very few are working in Norway due to vacation times.

Sorry very the inconvenience.

Hi Aryan,

Thank you for your reply.

This software does not modify a lot, just added a long button function in code, and then print the key log through JLINK RTT.

With the code in the attachment, it's easy to reproduce this issue.

devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../ble_5F00_app_5F00_uart_5F00_btn_5F00_test.zip

Please place the test project under nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a\examples\ble_peripheral

and add BSP_EVENT_KEY_LONG_1 to bsp_event_t in the bsp.h file.

Best regards,
Devin

This could happen if you are trying to remove a timer that is already being removed. In that case the removed linked list stack memory is given back to the stack and could have been filled with some other value. And this value is not an element in linked list, making the while loop go crazy and loop for ever. I am not sure what other changes you made, so hard to say.
