TWI does not work on custom board with BMD-330 (nRF52810 chipset) even though it works fine on development kits

Dear All,

We have designed our custom board based on BMD-330 (nRF52810 chipset). It uses i2c (TWI) to communicate with Azoteq IQS620A sensor.

TWI code runs fine on nRF52-DK (based on nRF52832) and BMD-330-EVAL (based on nRF52810), but when I run the same code on the custom board, the nrf_drv_twi_rx function returns error code 0x17 (busy).

By the way, I have already removed the DEVELOP_IN_NRF52832 and NRFX_COREDEP_DELAY_US_LOOP_CYCLES=3 flags.

Any help to why this issue is occuring on the custom board would be highly appreciated.
