I found that an SPI peripheral component initialization code involving a while loop had been causing the application to halt on the same line every time. The initialization was being done outside of the FreeRTOS tasks I was using (i.e., I was initializing this SPI peripheral in the main() before vTaskStartScheduler() ). Once I put the SPI peripheral initialization code inside of that peripheral's corresponding FreeRTOS task, everything worked perfectly.

I understand pausing a BLE example when the soft device's BLE is running will crash the example once the sample is resumed from pause. My issue is that I never get a chance to really review where I paused a function (and breakpoints are also not triggered as well). Whenever I pause the example, after a second the image in the original post pops up. Pause does not stay paused. Instead, the debugger crashes before I ever resume the example.

Are you running BLE when you are pausing the debugger? If so, you will most likely receive a softdevice assert when you run the debugger again because of timing issues. I can ask a Segger expert about this if you want me to, but I just want to confirm why you are starting/stopping debugging of a BLE example.
