Why APP_ERROR_HANDLER call after softdevice API ?

Himansu

Hi everyone,

I've noticed in SDK examples such as the ble_app_hrs that call APP_ERROR_HANDLER after softdevice API Call.

What is the reason for this API call?

Any side effect if not call this function after Softdevice API call ?

Please suggest any alternate solution or any recommendation for  that.

Regards,

Himansu

    Hi,

    The Softdevice API functions return a specific code dependent on the result of the Softdevice API call. This is a way for the Softdevice to signalize to the application if an error has occurred, such as when some requirements has not been specified or missing parameters etc. The APP_ERROR_CHECK() that is used in many of our examples checks the return value of the API call, and "asserts" by calling the error handler if the return value is non-zero which indicates an error. We do therefore not recommend to remove these checks in the code, doing so will prevent the SD to signalize any critical errors.

    regards

    Jared
