NRF52840DK error caused in app_timer2.c (error code 8)

[Nicholas_Nuti]

Hello,

In order to try and implement passkeys, I've implemented my program inside of the glucose app example. The project compiles + runs and crashes sometimes randomly but usually after connecting and entering the passkey.

According to the debugger, the error starts inside of "app_timer2.c"

Then continues to app_error.c with an error code of 8.

Does anyone know what this is?

Thank you!

Hi,

Do you have any insight on the previous problem?

It seems like you get errors all over the place, and not always with sensible error codes.

Regarding the specific errors you mentioned in the last few posts:

• SAADC: Assuming you use SDK 16, there is an assert on line 522 in nrfx_saadc.c that will trigger if you try to sample without having the SAADC initialized. Is that the problem here?
• For the peer manager error, it may be needed to debug a bit to understand what is going on. The error is essentially an assert from the peer manger, with an unexpected error.

None of the errors are expected, so I wonder what state your application is in. Have you based it on an example project? Which modifications did you to? What modifications lead to these problems? I you do not have progress, can you upload your full project here so that I can test on my side on a DK? Which SDK version do you use?

 Yeah I do get errors. I guess that comes with rushed development on a mcu I've never used before.

  As for the SAADC I have it initialized in the beginning of my program but I can check it. Thank you for the suggestion.  I assume the unexpected errors can be overcome with setting custom conditional statements in that ble event handler. I'm going to try it next week. 

Yes, I based my project on the very most basic ble template. I forget the name currently but I can check next week. Modifications I've made: saadc, added a ble service, ble characteristic, modified the basic sleep and wake up, hold bonds on wake up, and added a static passkey. This is a very basic implementation but it's rushed. I'm at the point of where Im optimizing for battery and I started a private post. I use SDK 16. Thanks for asking.

Im not used to the... type of documentation and methods of learning how to use this device. Before I was using a scilabs device that had a plethora of documentation and it was great. It seems to be hard to find out the suggested way to do certain things for this nrf device. Might be a personal problem.
