do_aci_setup is not completing on nRF8001 D

[vivyadavalli]

Hi,

I was trying to make nRF8001 peripheral device advertise the services and try to connect using an Android device that is having Nordic Master Control App.

I have based my code using the libraries github.com/.../ble-sdk-arduino and a services.h file generated from nrf studio attached here.

services.h

Most of the time this code waits forever in do_aci_setup and eventually timesout.

On rare occassion, I could find the device from Mobile phone and could connect and discover it's devices on that time. (log from MasterControl App was tailed to this question)

1. I would like to know if there is something I was doing totally wrong ex: generating incorrect services etc
2. Not establishing proper pipe's system in place for communication to happen?
3. __packed macro I use from Keil (My developer studio) could be doing some wrong?
4. Any other pointers you may give considering that when it works it works flawlessly?

As there is no way I could get debug logs on our chipset, all our debug is based on JTAG's now so if I need to check any command/event sequence to nail this down, please suggest one.

Hi. I have a few questions. What are the chip markings on your nRF8001 chip? What board are you using, the one from RedBearLab? Do you see the same behavior with minimal services in services.h?

Stefan,

Thanks for the reply. my chip is version nrf8001 1.2 and it's part of our board that has MCU STM32F429.
I tried in both ways Interrupts enabled or just Polling based. in the Interrupts enabled code I fail to get RDYN line interrupts for reading data(after RESET event). In polling based I kind of fail after few Setup Messages. I'm not sure What is RedBearLab and other HAL platform you mentioned though.. Do you know any successful STM32 based NRF working gits? or Keil projects for nRF8001 githubs? Regards.

Hi,

What is the complete laser print on top of your nRF8001 chip? Note that there is a port of ble-sdk-arduino for Maple (stm32) here. Can you also upload your configuration xml file so I can see it?
