Debugging a APP_ERROR_CHECK

[tyler]

I am working on a project using a BLE Nano and Nordic sdk 8.1. I included the ble_flash.c, ble_error_log.c, and ble_debug_assert_handler.c files in my include path and c source files. I also added -DDEBUG to the flags. I then check if the app is failing using the APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code); When I do this my program just stops running though and I don't get an error log or anything in the serial monitor and I don't see any stack trace saved on the device when I open it up. Are there any other steps I have to do or am I missing something? BTW I am compiling from terminal using a makefile.

How are you printing the error ? In app_error.c, try to comment out __disable_irq(), so the last lines looks like this:

    m_error_code = error_code;
    m_line_num = line_num;
    m_p_file_name = p_file_name;

    UNUSED_VARIABLE(m_error_code);
    UNUSED_VARIABLE(m_line_num);
    UNUSED_VARIABLE(m_p_file_name);
   // __disable_irq();

    printf("m_error_code %d\n",m_error_code);
    printf("m_line_num %d\n",m_line_num);
    printf("m_p_file_name %d\n",m_p_file_name);  
    while(loop);

I commented out _disable_irq() and the behavior didn't change at all. One thing to note is that the program stops before all the printf statements before APP_ERROR_CHECK() are finished printing (like the printf statements get cut off) so even if those printf()'s in app_error.c get called they won't ever have a chance to print. Is there a way to fix this? this is what app_error.c looks like now: gist.github.com/.../02dd56e79b841ae9e9b7a7db67d5b4d7

Try to comment out the ble_debug_assert_handler().

Alight success I finally got an error code: " PWM startm_error_code 8 m_line_num 839 m_p_file_name 1485"

How do I go about debugging this?

I think this should be main.c, what function do you have above the line 839 in main.c ?
