JLinkGDBServer prevents wakeup after sd_app_evt_wait()

ssfrr

I'm trying to use RTT for debug printing and having some trouble. I'm using the nrf51-ble-app-lbs example app that goes with App Note 36. I've added the RTT code from www.segger.com/jlink-real-time-terminal.html, and Added some debug logging.

When I flash the chip and boot up regularly I can connect over BLE, but when I try to connect to the RTT stream my debugging log tells me that it gets as far as calling sd_app_evt_wait() and then it never wakes up. I don't see any further debug info and the device stops doing BLE advertisements.

Here's how I'm connecting to the RTT stream:

  1. Power-cycle the chip
  2. run JLinkGDBServer -device nrf51822 -if swd -speed 1000 -port 2331 to connect to the JLINK
  3. run JLinkRTTClientto connect to the GDB server

Any thoughts as to what's going on? I know there are some issues with breakpoints on an app that uses the SoftDevice, but I don't need to set breakpoints, I just want to connect to RTT.

    The solution is to use JLinkExe -device nrf51822 -if swd -speed 1000 if you don't need to do debugging with GDB. This will connect to the running application without halting it, and allows you to connect with JLinkRTTClient (or just telnet localhost 19021).
