Multiprotocol and radio RXIDLE state

[chinargor]

Hi nrf51 developers,

I'm developing multiprotocol application by combining BLE and a proprietary protocol. I'm using concurrent multiprotocol timeslots API. Started with the ble_app_hrs_with_timeslot example. In that example timer0 generates interrupt, but I modified a little to generate radio interrupt.

My callback function is bellow

nrf_radio_signal_callback_return_param_t * m_radio_callback(uint8_t signal_type)
{   

    switch(signal_type)
    {
        case NRF_RADIO_CALLBACK_SIGNAL_TYPE_START:
            signal_callback_return_param.params.request.p_next = NULL;
            signal_callback_return_param.callback_action = NRF_RADIO_SIGNAL_CALLBACK_ACTION_NONE;
            radio_configure();
	    /* Enable interrupt on events */
	        NRF_RADIO->INTENSET = RADIO_INTENSET_ADDRESS_Msk | RADIO_INTENSET_DISABLED_Msk | RADIO_INTENSET_READY_Msk;
	   /* Enable RADIO interrupts */
	  		NVIC_ClearPendingIRQ(RADIO_IRQn);
			NVIC_EnableIRQ(RADIO_IRQn);
			NRF_RADIO->PACKETPTR = (uint32_t)&packet;
			NRF_RADIO->EVENTS_READY = 0U;		
			/* Enable RX */
            NRF_RADIO->TASKS_RXEN = 1U; 
            while (NRF_RADIO->EVENTS_READY == 0U)
            {
                // **I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY, IT ALWAYS STAYS HERE**
            }
	       start_timer();
           break;
	    case NRF_RADIO_CALLBACK_SIGNAL_TYPE_RADIO:
		  //**NEVER COMES HERE**
 		   break;
    }
    return (&signal_callback_return_param);
}

I tried to debug and figured out that it never goes to RXIDLE state and stays in a while loop (NRF_RADIO->EVENTS_READY == 0U), I cannot understand why.

I'd really appreciate, if someone could help me. Thanks in advance for your time,

Best regards, Gor

The problem Is solved. One need to reset all states in the radio peripheral at first. By setting

NRF_RADIO->POWER = 1
