exit from debug mode (S110)

[ting²]

Hi,

I'm using the softdevice s110. The power consumption is sometimes a little weird (around 1 mA). I think that the chip is in debug mode. How can I know if the chip is really in this mode ? In this case, is it possible to disable this mode by using NRF_POWER->RESET?

Thanks

Hi Aryan, is there some way to avoid nRF51822 to enter the debug mode? from the reference manual "To guarantee that the device remains in normal mode, the SWDCLK line must be held low at all times ", but in my application, as the power is unstable in some times, the device could be reset, so it may enter the debug mode, can i disable the SWDCLK pin in some way?

That is an input pin to the nRF chip, so on devkits it is controlled by Segger ATMEL chip else if you use debugIN port then the debugger controls it. If you do not intend to use SWDCLK at all after programming, just connect it to ground GND (maybe temporarily). That should guarantee that it remains stable. And no you cannot disable that pin
