Cannot start HF clock after release

[moon.kim]

Hi.

Device : nRF52820

SDK 17.0.2 ( Softdevice 7.2.0)

I initialized the clock as below to use USB.

ret = nrf_drv_clock_init();
APP_ERROR_CHECK(ret);

nrf_drv_clock_lfclk_request(NULL);

while(!nrf_drv_clock_lfclk_is_running())
{
    /* Just waiting */
}

ble_stack_init();
gap_params_init();
gatt_init();
advertising_init();
services_init();
conn_params_init();
peer_manager_init();

And before changing to sleep mode, the clock was stopped to minimize current consumption. And after wake-up, it tries to run the clock again.

ret_code_t err_code;

//Clock release
nrf_drv_clock_hfclk_release();

err_code = nrf_ble_lesc_request_handler();
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

//Into sleep mode
nrf_pwr_mgmt_run();

//Wake-up
nrf_drv_clock_hfclk_request(NULL);

But for some reason this doesn't work. 

How do I stop and restart the clock when using USB?

Hello,

Please make sure your building with the SOFTDEVICE_PRESENT flag, This flag makes it so that the clock driver uses the sd_clock_hfclk_request() Softdevice function to start the clock, rather than trying to access the CLOCK peripheral directly (this is one of the peripherals reserved to the Softdevice).

Best regards,

Vidar

Thanks

This problem is solved.

However, when the device was in Sleep mode, nrf_drv_clock_hfclk_release() was performed and USB insert wake-up was not executed.

Is there any way to reduce the current while using the USB wake-up event?

Hi,

It shouldn't be neccessary to keep the clock running in sleep. Are you only receiving the USBDETECTED event if you don't release the HFXO (USBD power-up sequence)?

[moon.kim]

If so, is there a way to reduce the current consumption in sleep mode when using USBD?

[Vidar Berg]

What happens when you release the clock before entering sleep, does it not wake up again?

When I did this, the current consumption decreased and it was detected.

It seems that the clock has been released as the current consumption has decreased.

nrf_drv_clock_hfclk_release();

do
{
	//sd_app_evt_wait ();
	if (NRF_LOG_PROCESS() == false)
    {
        nrf_pwr_mgmt_run();
    }
	app_usbd_event_queue_process();
}while(gvICLK_get_SleepState() == true);

nrf_drv_clock_hfclk_request(NULL);
