Issue with Softdevice S140 on Arduino Nano BLE 33 board (nRF52840)

Hi Folks,

I am getting in trouble with SoftDevice activation. Indeed, my application did not return from the "nrf_sdh_enable_request()" call, more precisely it hangs into the "sd_softdevice_enable".

I want to mention that I compile the S140 file within my application so I did not flash independently the Softdevice hex previously into my target. Maybe my linker script file is not OK or my sdk_config.h file

My questions are: Is it possible to flash in one shot softdevice + application ?if yes, how must be configured the linker script file?

I have also noticed that the "sd_softdevice_enable" function refers to a sd_softdevice_enable to a SVCALL so I suppose S140 must be flashed first in that configuration so my Arduino board must be in a hard fault reset state. Am I right?

Another file contains a pure C definition , it is located in the named "ser_softdevice_handler.c". Can it serve to implement Softdevice without in a single application file?

I know I ask a lot so I thank u a lot as well.

The best.

Seb

Hi Sabas,

Thank you for your efforts in porting the bootloader. I swapped to the adafruit BSP few weeks ago so I do not use mbedos for the time being.

However, it is a note for later ;), I'll look at it for sure.

The best
