Cannot run code on custom board.

Question

Dear All, I am trying to run a simple program that beacons, prints a message to the UART and toggles a pin on a custom nRF52833 based board. I am using softdevice s113 and nRF5_SDK_16.0.0 My code works on my DK, but not on my board which weird (I am using the NRF52833-QDAA package). On my board I am using the DCDC converter instead of the LDO.

So what am I missing here? I repeat that on the DK it seems to work just fine

Actually, I realized that I was using the wrong clock source for the softdevice and that that was the reason that the application was freezing
