 I am working with the NRF52840 Dongle and have been trying to verify what sort of influence other processes on the chip could have on the radio. Specifically, I was wondering whether having the CPU write to or read from memory during rampup</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Tue, 16 Jul 2019 14:12:59 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/49759/cpu-memory-accesses-interfering-with-radio-dma" /><item><title>RE: CPU memory accesses interfering with radio DMA</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/198759?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 16 Jul 2019 14:12:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:ddd4dc41-5d5e-420f-8af8-bfcac709b18d</guid><dc:creator>abs</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;That makes sense, thanks!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: CPU memory accesses interfering with radio DMA</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/198365?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jul 2019 09:11:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:0e2bcd3c-6041-43f9-9494-c1e4692e74a3</guid><dc:creator>Dmitry</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;even at 2 Mbps, you&amp;#39;ll receive or transmit one byte every 4 usec, that is 256 CPU cycles.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;To lock bus entirely,&amp;nbsp;I imagine&amp;nbsp;32 consecutive STM/LDM {r0-r7} instructions...&amp;nbsp; If you turn on direction finding (on nRF52811), you&amp;#39;ll get much higher RAM traffic caused by radio - 4 bytes every 0.125 usec, and I didn&amp;#39;t encounter any congestions even in this case.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
