Detailed Description

Function Documentation

uint32_t sd_softdevice_disable

(

void

)

Disables the SoftDevice and by extension the protocol stack.

Idempotent function to disable the SoftDevice.

Postcondition

SoC library and protocol stack APIs are made unavailable.

All interrupts that was protected by the SoftDevice will be disabled and initialized to priority 0 (highest).

All peripherals used by the SoftDevice will be reset to default values.

All of RAM become available.

All interrupts are forwarded to the application.

LFCLK source chosen in sd_softdevice_enable will be left running.

Return values

NRF_SUCCESS

uint32_t sd_softdevice_enable	(	nrf_clock_lfclksrc_t	clock_source,
		softdevice_assertion_handler_t	assertion_handler
	)

Enables the SoftDevice and by extension the protocol stack.

Idempotent function to enable the SoftDevice.

Note

Some care must be taken if a low frequency clock source is already running when calling this function: If the LF clock has a different source then the one currently running, it will be stopped. Then, the new clock source will be started.

This function has no effect when returning with an error.

Postcondition

If return code is NRF_SUCCESS

• SoC library and protocol stack APIs are made available.
• A portion of RAM will be unavailable (see relevant SDS documentation).
• Some peripherals will be unavailable or available only through the SoC API (see relevant SDS documentation).
• Interrupts will not arrive from protected peripherals or interrupts.
• nrf_nvic_ functions must be used instead of CMSIS NVIC_ functions for reliable usage of the softdevice.
• Interrupt latency may be affected by the SoftDevice (see relevant SDS documentation).
• Chosen low frequency clock source will be running.

Parameters

clock_source	Low frequency clock source and accuracy. (Note: In the case of XTAL source, the PPM accuracy of the chosen clock source must be greater than or equal to the actual characteristics of your XTAL clock).
assertion_handler	Callback for SoftDevice assertions.

Return values

NRF_SUCCESS
NRF_ERROR_INVALID_STATE	SoftDevice is already enabled, and the clock source and assertion handler cannot be updated.
NRF_ERROR_SDM_INCORRECT_INTERRUPT_CONFIGURATION	SoftDeviceinterrupt is already enabled, or an enabled interrupt has an illegal priority level.
NRF_ERROR_SDM_LFCLK_SOURCE_UNKNOWN	Unknown low frequency clock source selected.

uint32_t sd_softdevice_is_enabled

(

uint8_t *

p_softdevice_enabled

)

Check if the SoftDevice is enabled.

Parameters

[out]

p_softdevice_enabled

If the SoftDevice is enabled: 1 else 0.

Return values

NRF_SUCCESS

uint32_t sd_softdevice_vector_table_base_set

(

uint32_t

address

)

Sets the base address of the interrupt vector table for interrupts forwarded from the SoftDevice.

This function is only intended to be called when a bootloader is enabled.

Parameters

[in]

address

The base address of the interrupt vector table for forwarded interrupts.

Return values

NRF_SUCCESS
