Has the DFEPACKET.PTR to be word-aligned?

[funkmaus]

Hello,

I am developing an nrf52811 BLE Direction Finding firmware.

During packet reception I would like to store the IQ samples on a uint8_t buffer right after some other (packet) data. I observed that this only works, if the part before the IQ data is a multiple of four bytes, i.e. if the DFEPACKET.PTR is word-aligned.

Before I am going to get crazy, let me ask: Am I right that the DFEPACKET.PTR has to be word-aligned? If so, it would be nice to have this information in the documentation.

Thanks in advance and best regards!

Hi Gerrit

You're correct, of course. I'm sorry about any confusion. Thank you for the thorough testing that you've done. I will put in a request for including this in the documentation, but it might take some time before it makes its way into public documentation. 

Best regards,

Simon
