ANT on PCA10056 and custom board ?

[RixtronixLAB]

Dear Members,

I want to run ANT+ code in my custom board,

It works well on PCA10056, I can upload softdevice and the code to custom board board,

but I didn't get any responses,

I have tried with code without softdevice, the custom board works well

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Hello,

Does your custom board have a 32KHz crystal mounted? If not, you have to make sure you select the internal RC oscillator when you enable the Softdevice. Otherwise, the Softdevice will enter an infinite loop waiting for the crystal to start.

The memory layout should be left as is.

Best regards,

Vidar

Does softdevice require VDD HV? I connected VDD HV to 3.3V .

The screenshot only shows that you have hit the breakpoint you have set. Can you delete all breakpoints, then place one on the APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code); line after nrf_sdh_enable_request()?

[RixtronixLAB]

delete all NRF_LOG_INFO and ,

   ret_code_t err_code = nrf_sdh_enable_request();
      APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code); ,

complete function

/**@brief Function for ANT stack initialization.
 *
 * @details Initializes the SoftDevice and the ANT event interrupt.
 */
static void softdevice_setup(void)
{
      NRF_LOG_INFO("softdevice_setup main\r\n");
    ret_code_t err_code = nrf_sdh_enable_request();
      APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
    ASSERT(nrf_sdh_is_enabled());

    err_code = nrf_sdh_ant_enable();
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
      NRF_LOG_INFO("softdevice_setup sdh_enable\r\n");

    err_code = ant_plus_key_set(ANTPLUS_NETWORK_NUM);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
      NRF_LOG_INFO("ant_plus_key\r\n");
}

output :

fo> app: log_init.
                                                          

                                                                              

nfo> app_timer: RTC: initialized.

fo> app: softdevice_setup main
                                              

                                    

and freeze, I can not see anything from

  ret_code_t err_code = nrf_sdh_enable_request();
      APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

Any clues ?

I meant to delete the breakpoints, not remove the NRF_LOG_INFO () lines.

same output  :

Did you place the breakpoint like I asked?

[RixtronixLAB]

I did :

then 

?

[Vidar Berg]

OK, thanks. Please include the CPU register view as well so I can see where it hangs.

Can you read out the first word from address 0x0? It doesn't look like you have a valid Softdevice present.
