Garbage Collection callback (FDS_EVT_GC) was delayed by Bluetooth LE connection

[hrshtkg]

Hi all,

Now I'm analyzing the bug that is the fault of my application's timing control.

On analyzing, I found the difference that  garbage collection callback was delayed whether the device is connected by bluetooth LE  or not.

The difference time is about 20msec to 60msec, so I wondered if it was affected connection interval.

But this callback is executed under softdevice, so I can't find why this matter occurs in truth.

I'can fix this bug by my application, but I'd like to know why it happened.

Please could you let me know the reason.

My conditions are bellow.

* Softdevice : S132

* nRF5 SDK : 12.2.0

* device : nRF52832

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi

I'm not sure I understand what your problem is exactly. The garbage collection will indeed be scheduled to take place when BLE communication is done. This is expected behavior. What "bug" exactly are you seeing? Also, SDK v12.2.0 is very old at this point, and only has experimental support for the nRF52 series devices. I would strongly recommend moving to a newer SDK version as there have been a lot of bug fixes introduced since then.

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simonr.

Thank you for your answer.

The problem is that my system had turned off before garbage collection completed during BLE connection.

So I have to make waiting for FDS_EVT_GC.

That's my fault. But I want to know the relationship between garbage collection and ble communication. 

And my system was released a few years ago. It has not updated due to increase the evaluation process still now. 

I'll consider the possibilities. thank you.
