Ok. But have you figured out which line is causing the error?

I use Debug session to see what's going on.

Ok. Just to make it clear, did you put a breakpoint on nrf_pdm_task_trigger(), and the program didn't reach the breakpoint?

If that is the case, then something before that function is causing the error. You should set a breakpoint incrementally upwards to see what line is causing the error.

Best regards,

Simon, Thanks your response. The program does not hang at nrf_pdm_task_trigger().

How do you know the program hangs at nrf_pdm_task_trigger(), and not any of the functions before? Try setting a breakpoint at nrf_pdm_task_trigger() and see if your program reaches it. Here is a guide on how to debug in SES. Usually the program stops due to asserts (like APP_ERROR_CHECK()) or hardfaults, and I guess it is one of them in your case.

Best regards,

Simon

I try to port PDM part from thingy SDK to SDK_15.2 with nRF52840.
The process hangs (no further message) after nrf_pdm_task_trigger(NRF_PDM_TASK_START).

Is there any idea what's wrong in this code?

ret_code_t nrf_drv_pdm_start(void)
{
	  ASSERT(m_cb.drv_state != NRF_DRV_STATE_UNINITIALIZED);
    ret_code_t err_code;
		
	  if (m_cb.status != NRF_PDM_STATE_IDLE)
    {
        if (m_cb.status == NRF_PDM_STATE_RUNNING)
        {
            err_code = NRF_SUCCESS;
            printf("Function: %s, error code: %s.\r\n", (uint32_t)__func__, (uint32_t)NRF_LOG_ERROR_STRING_GET(err_code));
            return err_code;
        }
        err_code = NRF_ERROR_BUSY;
        printf("Function: %s, error code: %s.\r\n", (uint32_t)__func__, (uint32_t)NRF_LOG_ERROR_STRING_GET(err_code));
        return err_code;
    }
    m_cb.status = NRF_PDM_STATE_TRANSITION;
    m_cb.drv_state = NRF_DRV_STATE_POWERED_ON;
    nrf_pdm_enable();
    nrf_pdm_event_clear(NRF_PDM_EVENT_STARTED);

		nrf_pdm_task_trigger(NRF_PDM_TASK_START);
		printf("PDM-START----\r\n");	

    err_code = NRF_SUCCESS;
