nRF9160 System Off Mode Bus Fault Error

Hey,

I'm trying to put the nRF9160 into System Off mode and am getting a bus fault error when writing to the REGULATORS module. This is the error output:

***** BUS FAULT *****
Precise data bus error
BFAR Address: 0x40004500
***** Hardware exception *****
Current thread ID = 0x200245f8
Faulting instruction address = 0x412da
Fatal fault in thread 0x200245f8! Aborting.

I first set the modem to power off using ```lte_power_off()```, and then call ```nrf_regulators_system_off(NRF_REGULATORS_NS);```

I'm calling this from a non-secure app. Do I have to add configuration in the bootloader to allow non-secure access to the REGULATORS registers? Are there additional steps to configure before going into System Off mode?

    Hi Jack,
    Sorry for my confusion.

    Basically we need to set the regulators in non-secure to be able to use it:


    To set the Regulators in non-secure we can add this in the spm.c:

    PERIPH("NRF_REGULATORS", NRF_REGULATORS_S, CONFIG_SPM_NRF_REGULATORS_NS),

    And we need to set it as default non-secure in the Kconfig file:

    config SPM_NRF_REGULATORS_NS
	bool "Regulators is Non-Secure"
	default y

    From the serial output you can confirm that the Regulators are set in Non-Secure:
     

    Best Regards,
