BLE error when migrating from SDK14.2 to SDK16

[Shruuts]

Hello,

I am migrating our production code from SDK14.2 to SDK16, and switching to using FreeRTOS.  During the BLE initialization and bonding, I get a system reboot.  Tracking it down, it happens in this line in nrf_atomic_internal.h:

#define NRF_ATOMIC_OP_sub(new_val, old_val, value) "sub %["#new_val"], %["#old_val"], %["#value"]\n"

It originated from security_dispatcher.c:

case BLE_GAP_EVT_AUTH_STATUS:

  auth_status_process(&(p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt));

  break;

I am not able to share our code since it is owned by the company.  Are there any pointers you can provide as to why this could be happening?

Several things I have tried:

- included NRF_BLE_QWR_DEF()

- configSUPPORT_DYNAMIC_ALLOCATION is set to 0, so heap size does not matter

- Flash read/write commands are working in general

Thank you for all your help!

You realise you could create a Private ticket ?

I will not be able to share the code in a private ticket either.

Hi,

I would suspect that the program goes into an error handler somewhere due to the system reset, which is a common action in the error handler. Are you able to check exactly what function that does the reset? I'm a bit limited of the support I can provide without viewing the application code.
