NRF 52840 hang out and no more notification. Connectivity V3, s132 USB

Kaaml

Hello,

I test NRF52840 with connectivity firmware with SoftDevice s132, API V3. Adapter is opened successfully and all Adverts are parsed properly. Problem is when devices are connected together, after several notifications uC hangs out and no more notifications is received.

I am using nrf52840 Develpoment kit and Intel Edison.

    Hi Jørgen,

    We had to postpone work on hardware upgrade to nRF52840 due to work load. Yesterday, we did another try with pc-ble-driver-js 2.5 release and we get exactly the same problem as described by  before.

    I've tried to investigate this further, behaviour on the application layer is as explained before,- we're receiving notifications for a while and after some time (random) application hangs.

    It looks like the pc-ble-driver doesn't receive HVX events at serialization transport layer serialization_transport.cpp#L179. That's why I believe that the problem is related to the connectivity firmware, maybe something to do with events buffering before sending via USB. We're using s132 because v3 is the latest driver which pc-ble-driver-js 2.5 release supports.

    I've also tried to compile source from the pc-ble-driver-js master branch together with pc-ble-driver 4.1.0 release but for some reason nRF52840 development board doesn't appear as /dev/ttyACMx after flashing connectivity_4.1.1_usb_with_s132_3.1.0. Do you have any suggestion why this happens? 

    -- Update:
    I found out why connectivity 4.1.1 didn't work before,- I was using modified dev board (no connection to external flash). I took other board and device appear as /dev/ttyACMx now.

    I compiled pc-ble-driver-js from the master branch but there is still the same issue - application hangs after receiving random number of notifications. In our application peripheral is sending 144000, in 3 tests application hang after 134640, 95328, 107280 bytes.

    -- Update 2:
    To confirm I tried to use UART interface instead of USB CDC by flashing standard connectivity firmware to nRF52840 dev board. The application works fine in this configuration. In our hardware we'll add option to select between UART and USBD - we will use UART initially and then switch to USBD when a fix is available.

    Best regards,
    Krzysztof

    Hi,

    This is not a known issue, but I have reported it internally and our pc-ble-driver developers will have a look at it.

    Your symptoms seem similar to the ones reported in this case. I was not able to reproduce the issue at that time.

    Best regards,
    Jørgen

    Many thanks,

    If this is any help pc-ble-driver developers can contact me directly - I may be able to help with testing.

    Best regards,
    Krzysztof

    Hello,

    has there been any progress with this issue? I understand it was reported to pc-ble-driver developpers, is there an issue number we can use to track this?

    Kind regards,

    Jean

    Unfortunately, there has not been any progress on this issue. The issue was reported internally in our systems, it cannot be tracked externally.
