Data is not getting received in nus_data_handler

[swetha Paladugu]

Hi,

I have created an eclipse based makefile project for nrf51802 module.

The sdk version that i am using is 12.3.0, and softdevice S130 .

Taking reference of ble_app_uart example i have advertised my device and i have connected with nrf android application and sent data.

It is expected that data should come into nus_data_handler. I have not enabled any other services except the default nus service which is initialized in services_init();

I kept a breakpoint in nus_data_handler() but it never reaches that breakpoint.

I also see that, it comes to BLE_GATTS_EVT_RW_AUTHORIZE_REQUEST case in on_ble_evt() and then gets disconnected after that.

I am attaching my project for reference.

Please help me resolve this issue. I'm blocked on it since 3 days.0486.Keybox.zip

3225.My_project.zip

What is the difference between "My_project.zip" and "Keybox.zip"?

As mentioned in your other ticket, we don't support Eclipse or Truestudio, so what I do is that I try to use your main.c in the ble_app_uart project.

So the first thing I needed to change was to add the nrf_queue.c file to the project, since I don't use the same project file as you do.

The second thing I needed to do was to change the RAM settings, because softdevice_enable() returned 4.

I had to set RAM start/origin = 0x20003388 and size =  0xCC78.

Did you change your RAM settings?

After those changes, I got an interrupt when I used nRF Connect for Desktop to write to the UART rx service:

If that doesn't happen in your case, try to debug and see what happens. Does the application crash? I don't have any possibility to help you with projects in formats that we don't support. 

Does it work if you use the UNMODIFIED ble_app_uart example from the SDK? you can try to port it to your IDE, but I see that you have also done a lot of changes to the main.c file, and you have removed all the logging from main.c. Is there any reason for this? Can you try to do this from scratch with an unmodified SDK?

Best regards,

Edvin

Hi Edvan,

log messages are not displaying on console... that is the reason i have removed logging..

After i changed nus characteristics i was able to transmit and receive data with app not through nus_data_handler but some other handler..

This issue is solved but now i have another issue.

I want to use freertos in my project so firstly i am running the pre-compiled hex file in the below path and observed that device is not advertising.

nRF5SDK\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_hrs_freertos\hex

Can you help here?

Thanks,

Swetha.

i am not using SES.. i am using eclipse...

I kept a breakpoint in ble_stack_thread(), and it never reaches there..

 Ah. That's right.

Is the main() function reached at all?

[swetha Paladugu]

yes it is coming to main

[swetha Paladugu]

From scheduler it goes to unknown state, there are no other breakpoints in the code

I don't know why it isn't working. What changes did you do when the previous project didn't work, and I suggested the clock config changes? We don't support Eclipse, so if the issue is related to that I don't know what the issue may be.

[swetha Paladugu]

For the previous project RAM address was wrong. After i changed them, it started advertising... Other than that nothing..

Can you please flash the precompiled hex of freertos example in nrf51802 module and check if it is advertising for you?

Irrespective of ide, the precompiled hex should work.. but its not happening.

 I agree that the precompiled hex files should work irrespective of IDEs, but not irrespective of HW. What are the buttons and LED pins connected to? Try to comment out the bsp_init() function.

I see you have DEBUG in your preprocessor definitions (CFLAGS). Try to set a breakpoint on line 76 in app_error.c. Is that hit?

/*lint -save -e14 */
void app_error_handler(ret_code_t error_code, uint32_t line_num, const uint8_t * p_file_name)
{
    error_info_t error_info =
    {
        .line_num    = line_num,
        .p_file_name = p_file_name,
        .err_code    = error_code,
    };
    app_error_fault_handler(NRF_FAULT_ID_SDK_ERROR, 0, (uint32_t)(&error_info));    // <-- Breakpoint here

    UNUSED_VARIABLE(error_info);

I can try the 51 DK on Monday, but I am working from home now, and I don't have a 51 DK plugged into my computer (remote desktop). 

[swetha Paladugu]

i have already commented the bsp_init() and everything related to buttons..

No it is not coming to that breakpoint in error handler..

Our module is connected to 45KHz external Low frequency crystal oscillator.. So what should be set in CLOCK_CONFIG_XTAL_FREQ macro in sdk_config.h?
