app_timer max period

[M.Anis]

I am using the nrf52832 with softdevice s112

is the app_timer library still limited to the max period of RTC1 as explained in this post https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/7220/s110-and-max-value-of-app-timer

is there a way to create timers with a period of a month or more ?

Hi,

This depends a bit on which SDK version you are using. I am certain that app_timer2 in latest SDK (v17.0.2) supports 32 bit timeouts, but I believe it is also supported in older app_timer_v1 in the same SDK.

You can also increase the RTC frequency through sdk_config APP_TIMER_CONFIG_RTC_FREQUENCY, to support longer timeouts.

Best regards,
Jørgen
