Example Project ble_app_hrs_freertos in SDK 13.0 & 13.1 for nRF52832 S132 does not work

[murtuza]

Hi;

I was trying to run example project ble_app_hrs_freertos from SDK 13.1 (softdevice 4.0) using the IAR project files (compiler 8.11), and the ble output does not yield the same result as ble_app_hrs project file; In fact this is true for both the SDK 13.0 and 13.1. The problem is, once i run it, I can see the hrs application advertise itself using the nordic nRF Connect app, but when you connect to it, it does not display GATT characteristic information. It just hangs.

Version SDK 12.3 S132 v 3.0 does, however seem to work just fine. You can connect to it, and be able to interact with it. So is this a bug? And if so, how do i get the same to work on SDK 13.1?

Thanks again; Murtuza

There was a known issue that we mentioned here and the fix is mentioned here. Try to replace the port_cmsis_systick.c file with the given one and it will most probably work for you like it did for many others.
