BT 1.2 Stack on CC2540 MiniDevKit - debug shows stuck in HAL_BOARD_INIT

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2540

With the upgraded 1.2 BT stack, the program HIDEmuKBD has been changed.  After I download and debug, I see that it never gets out of the HAL_BOARD_INIT routine.  Why?  It worked before using 1.1 stack's program.  Thanks!

    This file is common, so you can try another proj like simplebleperipheral and see is results are the same. There is some dependency on a 32khz crystal. Also try building with optimizations off and check where single stepping gets stuck in the function. - Greg

    Hello Greg,

    Thank you for your prompt reply.  Not sure what the issue was but turning optimization off did the trick!  With this new Emulated HID KB project - when I click the button, it's suppose to be advertising - however, my iPhone 4S does not detect it.  Any reason why?  Are there any other BT4 devices out there that would detect this mini key fob running this BLE chip?

    Do you have a CC2540 USB Dongle? If so you can use it as a packet sniffer. This is a must have for CC2540 BLE development in my opinion

    I am having the same problems with SimpleBLEObserver getting stuck in HAL_BOARD_INIT while trying to debug it.

    Whenever I run other other projects (Broadcast & Peripheral) that have the exact same configuration with hal_board_cfg.h I do not have this problem and code and functionality is as expected.

    What could be the possible reasons for this getting stuck in the HAL_BOARD_INIT?

    Thanks in advance.

    I found that unlike the other projects, the Observer project has the Debugger setting configured to simulator instead of Texas Instruments like the other. Changing this resolved my problem.
