nRF52 FreeRTOS using the S132 SoftDevice

[WestCoastDaz]

Is there are working example of FreeRTOS running on the nRF52 using the S132 SoftDevice? I am trying to get a ble_hrs example running with a updated version of the FreeRTOS portable layer I was provided by my Nordic Sales contact but it's not working.

I am using nRF52 SDK 0.9.2 and SoftDevice s132 1.0.0-3 alpha on PCA10040. The ble_hrs FreeRTOS example I used is from the nRF51 SDK version 10.0.0 and I think I am missing something since it runs fine when complied for the nRF51.

Thank you in advance, Darren

You have to modify project configuration and files a little to use SoftDevice with FreeRTOS on nRF52-DK. Here is my example project you can refer.

monpetit,

Thanks for the reply. So to be clear you are running the nRF51 SDK 10.0.0 on the nRF52 dev kit? Have you tried using this with the nRF52 SDK 0.9.2?

Cheers, Darren

Darren, I have not tried using it with the nRF52 SDK. I am using nRF51 SDK to use Keil MDK packs. But it's worth a try to use nRF52 SDK with the FreeRTOS. I'll do later. =)

I will using the nRF51 10.0.0 and your GitHub reference. Thanks again.

Darren,

I have tested the FreeRTOS example with nRF52 SDK. The app_timer_freertos.c of FreeRTOS is not compatible with nRF52 SDK 0.9.2 because the app_timer module is changed in nRF51 SDK 10.0.0. You have to modify app_timer.h and bsp.c to use FreeRTOS with nRF52 SDK.
