ANT HRM interrupt and sdcard ?

[RixtronixLAB]

Dear Members,

I want to log my ANT+ HRM into SDcard,
I tried with flag, but it never goes to main loop,

I'm using nRF52840
Code ANT HRM interrupt :

void ant_hrm_page_0_decode(uint8_t const        * p_page_buffer,
                           ant_hrm_page0_data_t * p_page_data)

//set flag for SDCARD writing 1 December 2021 Rixtronix LAB  
   SDCARD_Flag=1; 

on the main loop :

//wait for SDCARD_FLAG=1
       if (SDCARD_Flag==1)
       {
          printf("\rWRITE SDCARD.. \r\n"); 
          SDCA

I'm using softdevice S340, how can I send a flag in softdevice, than the flag will be processed in main loop ?

Thanks

Hi,

How is the flag defined?

Have you verified if ant_hrm_page_0_decode() is called and the flag being set (for instance through debugging/breakpoints)?

Is your application stuck in some interrupt, preventing it from going back to the main-loop?

Best regards,
Jørgen

Hi Jorgen, thanks for the reply

Here's how the flag defined, in main :

extern volatile uint8_t SDCARD_Flag; //SDCARD interrupt flag 1 Dec 21 Rixtronix LAB

in ant_hrm_page_0_decode file :

volatile uint8_t SDCARD_Flag; //SDCARD interrupt flag 6 Dec 21 Rixtronix LAB

I haven't put breakpoints yet,

It's not stuck, it keeps running on ant_hrm_page_0_decode(), never returns to main loop...and the Flag is updated,

Any clues

Some screenshots :

it stuck and made error somewhere here :

E:\nRF5_SDK_17.0.2_d674dde\components\softdevice\common\nrf_sdh_ant.c Line 135 Stuck here...
 for (nrf_section_iter_init(&iter, &sdh_ant_observers);
             nrf_section_iter_get(&iter) != NULL;
             nrf_section_iter_next(&iter))
        {
            nrf_sdh_ant_evt_observer_t * p_observer;
            nrf_sdh_ant_evt_handler_t    handler;

            p_observer = (nrf_sdh_ant_evt_observer_t *) nrf_section_iter_get(&iter);
            handler    = p_observer->handler;

            handler(&ant_evt, p_observer->p_context);
        }

Hi Jorgen, thanks for the reply,

Here's what I've done for debugging ANT, 340 softdevice and nRF52840 :

1.I put breakpoint at SDCARD_Flag=1 at  void page0_data_log function, ant_hrm_page0.c
2.Run to cursor after SDCARD_flag=1;
3.it goes to NRF_BREAKPOINT_COND: , Line 100 app_error_weak.c
4.then it runs to line 104
 NRF_LOG_WARNING("System reset");
    NVIC_SystemReset();
    

it never returns to main() loop..
    How can I rectify this ? How can I halt interrupt for a while from ANT sensor, write to SDcard then turn the interrupt back on ?

Thanks

Can it be like this ?

SDK 17.1.0: is the "Need to close the ANT channel to make it safe to write to flash" warning still valid?
