Custom nRF52832 board stuck in cpu_idle.s

[Hossein Kasaei]

Hi,

I'm using a custom nrf52832 board (picture below), and I'm using nRF Connect SDK in visual code studio. I'm new to nRF so I'm a little confused about programming custom boards. I've chosen nRF52 DK nRF52832 as board.

I uploaded blinky code but the problem is it seems that microcontroller stuck as some point and led doesn't blink. When I run a debug, it will stuck in cpu_idle.S :

 

Thank you in advance

Hello,

If you are using nRF5 SDK, please use SES 5.42a instead of VS Code. We don't support VS Code for nRF5 SDK. You can see this release note https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.1.0/index.html for nRFSDK v17.1.0.

To build custom board on VSCode you can look at this earlier thread https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/80318/using-vscode-with-my-own-projects-and-boards/332744#332744 .

Hi,

Thanks for your response. I don't want to use nRF5 SDK, I just tested my board with one of code examples of nRF5 SDK to check whether the hardware is ok, and the result was fine, so I think there is nothing wrong with the hardware.
What I really want is to use nRF Connect SDK for my projects but the problem is every code I upload to my board is not executed and whenever I run a debug session it stuck in cpu_idle.S . 
The link that you mentioned to build custom board is very useful and I might use it in the future, but it don't think it can solve my problem.

Hello,

I found the solution ! The problem was the incompatibility of nRF Connect SDK v2.2.0 and nRF52832 Rev.2 
I deleted nRF connect v2.2.0 and installed v1.6.0 and now everything works fine
I think the newest version of nRF connect is compatible with nRF52832 Rev.3
