Can I reset the firmware when there is an error?

[schosdas]

Hello

I use nrf52832 and sdk v17.0.

I'm testing the firmware using custom pcb. Sometimes it stops altogether if there is an error in the firmware during the test.

The pcb has a power button but it won't work if the firmware stops completely (A circuit diagram of the power part is attached below.)

So in this case, there is a problem that I have to disconnect the battery and turn it off.

Of course, I need to make sure that I don't have an error, but can I make the system reset if there is an unexpected error while running?

(Sending a LOW signal to the 'power hold' pin will turn off the power.)

Thank you.

Hi,

For development I would recommend you halt the cpu so you can attache a debugger to ind out what and where the error occured. When you go to production it is fine to reset the chip in case of an error. In fact this is what we do in our SDK error handler as well. I.e. we have two builds, one for release and one for debugging.
