So, it is a timing issue.

Tested again after temporarily disabled critical sections: no more assertions since then. It seems that IRQs were masked for too long.

Finally, switching from __disable_irq( ) to app_util_critical_region_enter()/exit() solved the issue.

Many thanks for your support,

Thanos

Hello,

The assert is related to the radio and timing.

# ASSERT(radio_enable_time_us > NRF_TIMER0->CC[HAL_DEF_PA_LNA_CC_INDEX]);

(I don't have access to the full source code, so I don't know more than this line).

What changes did you apply when the asserts started to occur?

BR,

Edvin
