RTC and nrf_timer2 with BLE SOFTDEVICE nRF51_SDK_8.0.0

[KETAN_PATEL]

hi, i want to use 2 timer in my application and BLE continuous advertising. i'm able to do with NRF_TIMER2 and BLE continuous advertising and it's working fine. but when i add RTC0 part in my code, it will debug successfully without any warning and Error. but advertising is stop and any timer is not working.

and if i'm use RTC1 it will give this error: [Error: L6200E: Symbol RTC1_IRQHandler multiply defined (by app_timer.o and nrf_drv_rtc.o).]

Hi,

The SoftDevice uses RTC0, and the app_timer library uses RTC1. The app_timer enables the application to create multiple timer instances based on RTC1, so you should use the app_timer to create the timers you need.

But for low power consumption App_timer causing too much current consumption.
