Problem with IAR debugger when using softdevice

[PMichael]

Dear Sirs!

I use compiler IAR 7.80 with Nordic SDK 12.2

Softdevice

s132_nrf52_3.0.0_softdevice.hex

I have very strange issue in debugger.

Break point works, but when I try to continue after one or two steps or f I run application hardfault. And impossible to continue.

I added

--drv_vector_table_base=0x0

in Debuger> Extra Options.

It does not help.

Any ideas?

Hi,

This is expected behavior unfortunately. Halting the cpu will break the real time requirements of the stack. The reason for that is that peripherals such as timers are not being paused while the CPU is halted (events are not being serviced in time).

Best regards,
