custom board automatically reset every few seconds

Hi Dialog,

I ran a couple of sample projects on my custom board. All of them worked fine in debug mode (on both flash and ram) without any problem.

However, when I run the code normally from flash, the board appeared to automatically reset itself in about every 8 seconds.

Was using USB for power, therefore power won't be the issue. What else could it be? Appreciate if you could share some thoughts here.

Hi geekydragon,

I would recommend first checking our HW design guideline document – link is provided below :

Which project are you using? Do you have sleep mode enabled? If yes, what is the Low Power Clock (LPC) that you are using?

Thanks, PM_Dialog

I was running the default led_driver project without modifying anything. The LPC is the default LP_CLK_32768, and I have an external 32.768kHz XTAL on my custom board.

Thanks for pointing out the potential cause of sleep mode being enabled. When I changed line 74 in main.c from pm_sleep_mode_set(pm_mode_extended_sleep); to pm_sleep_mode_set(pm_mode_active); the system runs continuously without resetting itself in every ~8 seconds.

I guess the system by default runs about 8 seconds, goes to sleep mode, and then wakeup again, repeatedly. For the ble_adv project, I found "define USE_BLE_SLEEP 1" in the ble_config.h, which allows ble to sleep when inactive. But what about the led_driver project, which part of the code configures this sleep/wakeup behavior?

Pls kindly share more info/resources about the sleep/wakeup mechanism. Thank you for the help!

Hi geekydragon,

Apologies for the delay. The led_driver project is not using BLE activity.

Could you please download the project from our GIT repo and try it again?

https://github.com/dialog-semiconductor/BLE_SDK10_examples

Regarding the ble_adv project, the device is sleeping between advertising (or connection) intervals and wakes up automatically via the BLE Timer.

You could take a look at this tutorial :http://lpccs-docs.dialog-semiconductor.com/da1469x_power_measurement/index.html

Thanks, PM_Dialog
