Alright, I will investigate using those methods. I know that because of softdevice you cannot step through the code but these other methods will be very helpful.
Thank you!

[quote user=""]The new addition to the code is a driver for SPI flash memory. I am wondering if there are hardfaults associated with the nrf spi commands that might be the source?[/quote]

If this is not related to the softdevice, then you should get the faulting address of the instruction that is causing the hardfault to understand more about the nature of this fault.

If you have a BLE application and softdevice is enabled, then you cannot step or continue after a CPU halt when you are debugging. This is mentioned and discussed many many times in this forum for example like in this thread.

You will have to use Monitor mode debugging to have the capabilities to break and step while softdevice is running in the background.
