nRF51822 use without external oscillator

[MaxRPEng]

Hello,

i found a few articels about it but none of them where helpfull for me.

I just want to use my nRF51822 Module from Raytac without an external 32khz oszillator.
I tried a few examples without success.

I use SDK 12.3, my application is build up from the ble_app_template.

Is there any good documentation about that? I just want a solution to change my code to get it running without an external quarz.

Thanks a lot

Best regards

Max

HI Max, 

you need to set the NRF_CLOCK_LFCLKSRC configuration , defined in pca10028.h, to use the NRF_CLOCK_LF_SRC_RC and not the NRF_CLOCK_LF_SRC_XTAL, i.e

#define NRF_CLOCK_LFCLKSRC {.source = NRF_CLOCK_LF_SRC_RC, \

.rc_ctiv = 16 \

.rc_temp_ctiv = 2, \

.xtal_accuracy = 0}

#define NRF_CLOCK_LFCLKSRC {.source = NRF_CLOCK_LF_SRC_RC, \
.rc_ctiv = 16 \
.rc_temp_ctiv = 2, \
.xtal_accuracy = 0}
