nRFX hardware Timer freeze

Hi!

I'm trying to make a simple frequency meter with the nRF52-DK.

Actually, i'm trying to enable a simple timer, but my program freeze. I'm using mbed studio and I enable the nrfx_timer4 in the sdk_config.h

Here is my code:

#include "mbed.h"
#include "platform/mbed_thread.h"

#include "nrfx_timer.h"

// Blinking rate in milliseconds
#define BLINKING_RATE_MS                                                    500

DigitalOut led2(LED2);

const nrfx_timer_t TIMER_LED = NRFX_TIMER_INSTANCE(4);

void timer_led_event_handler(nrf_timer_event_t event_type, void* p_context)
{

    switch (event_type)
    {
        case NRF_TIMER_EVENT_COMPARE0:
            led2 = !led2;
            break;

        default:
            //Do nothing.
            break;
    }
}

int main()
{
    // Initialise the digital pin LED1 as an output
    DigitalOut led(LED1);

    uint32_t time_ms = 500; //Time(in miliseconds) between consecutive compare events.
    uint32_t time_ticks;
    uint32_t err_code = NRF_SUCCESS;


    //Configure TIMER_LED for generating simple light effect - leds on board will invert his state one after the other.
    nrfx_timer_config_t timer_cfg = NRFX_TIMER_DEFAULT_CONFIG;
    err_code = nrfx_timer_init(&TIMER_LED, &timer_cfg, timer_led_event_handler);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

    time_ticks = nrfx_timer_ms_to_ticks(&TIMER_LED, time_ms);

    nrfx_timer_extended_compare(&TIMER_LED, NRF_TIMER_CC_CHANNEL0,
                                time_ticks, NRF_TIMER_SHORT_COMPARE0_CLEAR_MASK,
                                true);

    nrfx_timer_enable(&TIMER_LED);

    while (true) {
        led = !led;
    }
}

Thanks
