Softdevice S110 V8.0.0 softdevice enable error

[Swetika]

Hi,

I have a setup : nRF51822_QFAC Chip Rev3 Softdevice: S110 V8.0.0 SDK: V8

Code hangs at sd_softdevice_enable(). Clock Source I am using is NRF_CLOCK_LFCLKSRC_XTAL_20_PPM. If i change the clock source to NRF_CLOCK_LFCLKSRC_RC_250_PPM_250MS_CALIBRATION, i get an error 0x00007(invalid parameters) from sd_ble_gap_ppcp_set api.

Thanks

Hi,

Do you have an external low frequency 32.768Hz clock? If yes, are you sure that it is running properly? If not this might be the reason why you can't get it to work with NRF_CLOCK_LFCLKSRC_XTAL_20_PPM. Do you get any error codes out of sd_softdevice_enable()?

Can you share the code you use to initialise the sd_ble_gap_ppcp_set() parameter?

Thinking that may be external low frequency 32.768KHz crystal is not working I have changed the clock setting to NRF_CLOCK_LFCLKSRC_RC_250_PPM_250MS_CALIBRATION. Here BLE uses internal RC oscillator. When i use internal RC oscillator code gets an error at sd_ble_gap_ppcp_set() .Here is the code for GAP param initilization:

static void gap_params_init(void)
{
    uint32_t                err_code;
    ble_gap_conn_params_t   gap_conn_params;
    ble_gap_conn_sec_mode_t sec_mode;

    BLE_GAP_CONN_SEC_MODE_SET_OPEN(&sec_mode);

    err_code = sd_ble_gap_device_name_set(&sec_mode,
                                          (const uint8_t *)DEVICE_NAME,
                                          strlen(DEVICE_NAME));
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

    memset(&gap_conn_params, 0, sizeof(gap_conn_params));

    gap_conn_params.min_conn_interval = MIN_CONN_INTERVAL;
    gap_conn_params.max_conn_interval = MAX_CONN_INTERVAL;
    gap_conn_params.slave_latency     = SLAVE_LATENCY;
    gap_conn_params.conn_sup_timeout  = CONN_SUP_TIMEOUT;

    err_code = sd_ble_gap_ppcp_set(&gap_conn_params);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
																					 
		err_code = sd_ble_gap_tx_power_set(4);
		APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
