i am trying to toggle led with the help of rtc but  event = NRF_RTC_EVENT_TICK; was triggered initially afterwards event = NRF_RTC_EVENT_OVERFLOW; was triggered and why that overflow event was triggered?

when i try like this first time rtc event triggered but next time onwards overflow event was triggered can i know which configuration i am suppose to change?

[venkatesha kj]

i have enabled spi uart twi did it affect the RTC and watch dog timer?

[Susheel Nuguru]

I am not sure, RTC is pretty simple to use and we also have a very clear example at examples\peripheral\rtc\main.c that matches your configuration. Tick event should work fine, it is well tested. Disable everything else other than RTC and verify that it is working and build your application logic on top of the working RTC.

[venkatesha kj]

i got to know that while nrfx_power_enabled was enabled rtc and watchdog timers will not work can i know the reason?

[Susheel Nuguru]

could not find a hit when i searched for nrfx_power_enabled. Where is this defined?
