Hi Dao,

Yes, you can run any BLE example ( regardless if you're using FreeRTOS or not) without the external XTAL 32,768kHz, you can use the internal 32kHz RC oscillator. This is done by setting the following defines in the sdk_config.h file.

#define NRF_SDH_CLOCK_LF_SRC 0

#define NRF_SDH_CLOCK_LF_RC_CTIV 16

#define NRF_SDH_CLOCK_LF_RC_TEMP_CTIV 2

#define NRF_SDH_CLOCK_LF_ACCURACY 0

Best regards

Bjørn
