DFU clock and custom made board

[Nomi]

I am using nrf51422 sdk v8.0 on pca10028 kit and softdevice s110. My DFU and custom made application works fine when i use clock SOFTDEVICE_HANDLER_APPSH_INIT(NRF_CLOCK_LFCLKSRC_XTAL_20_PPM, true). Then i transferred my codes to my custom made board but all codes work there when i change clock to SOFTDEVICE_HANDLER_INIT(NRF_CLOCK_LFCLKSRC_RC_250_PPM_TEMP_4000MS_CALIBRATION , NULL). But now i want to add DFU to my custom board. i changed the clock to SOFTDEVICE_HANDLER_INIT(NRF_CLOCK_LFCLKSRC_RC_250_PPM_TEMP_4000MS_CALIBRATION , NULL). in dfu_dual_bank_ble_s110_pca10028 an example project from keil packs. dfu advertise nicely but when i try to upload my application there comes an error "the connection has been lost". Can someone point the error is it because of clocks or something wrong in my code.?

Hi Nomi, Could you explain why you switch from SOFTDEVICE_HANDLER_APPSH_INIT to SOFTDEVICE_HANDLER_INIT ? Have you also removed the scheduler in the code ?

sorry it isnt SOFTDEVICE_HANDLER_APPSH_INIT. I used SOFTDEVICE_HANDLER_INIT(NRF_CLOCK_LFCLKSRC_XTAL_20_PPM, NULL); . The clock already used in dfu_dual_bank_ble_s110_pca10028 example. But on my custom board my codes work when i change clock to SOFTDEVICE_HANDLER_INIT(NRF_CLOCK_LFCLKSRC_RC_250_PPM_TEMP_4000MS_CALIBRATION , NULL). Now when i change clock in pca10028 dfu does not work.

Let me see if I get what you mean:

1. with pca10028, both XTAL_20_PPM and RC_250_PPM_TEMP_4000MS_CALIBRATION source works

2. with custom board, RC_250_PPM_TEMP_4000MS_CALIBRATION works but XTAL_20_PPM doesn't work

Is this correct? If yes, do you have a 32KHz crystal on your custom board ? If not you can not use the XTAL_20_PPM clock source

Hi Nomi,

Please be more specific on what doesn't work.

1-On pca kit all codes work with both clocks execpt dfu_dual_bank_ble_s110 with RC_250_PPM_TEMP_4000MS_CALIBRATION. Which advertise nicely but when i connect to dfu to upload my custom application or hrs_s110_8_0_sdk_8_0.zip an already present file in nrf toolbox dfu section from ios app the error comes dfu connection has been last. 2-on custom made as i dont have any crystal so RC_250_PPM_TEMP_4000MS_CALIBRATION works. So first i test my codes on my pca kit then i chage its clock and then transfer it on my custom board. Every thing was working fine until i got stuck on dfu dual bank ble example which works perfectly on pca with XTAL_20_PPM advertises nicely and i can upload my custom applications. But when i changes its clock to RC_250_PPM_TEMP_4000MS_CALIBRATION so that i can burn it to my custom board when i try to upload my custom application dfu connection has been last error comes.
