nrf52833 AOA sync terminated with err -11

[iamcfc]

I was trying examples direction_finding_connectionless_tx and direction_finding_connectionless_rx. Both examples use nrf52833. The log shows sync terminated Waiting for periodic sync... When debugging I found the scan_cb function is still be called after sync has been create. And shows pdu info on log table, is this situation correct, or it will affect sync process. Thanks

Hi,

Which SDK and which board do you use?

You provided the log for one of the boards. Which sample runs on that board? What happens with the other board when there is an error on the first board?

And shows pdu info on log table, is this situation correct, or it will affect sync process.

Could you please elaborate on this?

Best regards,
Dejan

Hi，

 I am using nrf connect sdk 2.2.0-rc1， and run sample nrf/direction_finding_connectionless_rx,  nrf/direction_finding_connectionless_tx, both board configure is nrf52833 dk nrf52833.

The tx log shows as follows

In direction_finding_connectionless_rx example, it will wait periodic advertising and shows detected periodic advertising broadcast packet. Then, when processing waiting for periodic sync, I can still see detected broadcast packet shows on log,  the format is the same as before([DEVICE:]...) instead of  sync info(PER_ADV_SYNC[0]). So my question is is it correct print periodic advertising broadcast packet(run scan callback function is example) on log when waiting for periodic sync, Thanks.

Hi,

Do you have antenna array connected to one of the boards?

Hi，

Yes I do have antenna array connected to locater board.

Now I can sometimes sync success by reducing periodic advertising interval time. The origin periodic advertising interval is 1.2s while LE advertising interval is 100ms. When I set periodic advertising interval time to 100ms, the success rate of sync is very high. Is this kind of situation because of antenna or it is a normal conditon, thanks.

Hi,

You should get better result if you keep antenna array close to the beacon board. You could also try changing the position of antenna array.

Hi，

So it means the sync terminated is because of the bad signal? Thanks.

Hi,

I have tested the sample and did not have any issues with it.
