RTOS/CC2650STK: Dual/Multi- Role - Peripheral and Observer - Problem with crashing stack

Part Number: CC2650STK
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BLE-STACK

Tool/software: TI-RTOS

Hi,

i have a problem when adding observer-functionality to a peripheral. here is my scenario:

i have an application that works as a ble-peripheral on my cc2650stk. (lets call this device A)

when connected to a central ( device B) they wait together for a trigger event and as long as the trigger event is present, the devices A and B exchange information in intervals continuosly.

I wanted to add a beacon to this setup, which when present provides the trigger event.

basically:

1) start: device A -> connect to device B -> connected

2) while connected: device A -> scan for beacon

3) while scan finds beacon: device A -> send notifications to device B

4) if scan stop event -> restart scan immediatly in task-context

the application worked fine before i added the scanning functionality.

my problem is this:

if i scan continuosly and unsuccseful for a while i get a imprecise bus access fault, caused by the ble-stack task (something that does not happen when i run without observer functionality, or the observer as sole)

if i scan succesful for a while (beacon is present, so A talks with B) i get a hal_assert abort from the stack. (something that didn't happen without the scanning)

if i switch the beacon on/off  in 20 to 30second intervals everything seems to work fine...

i am really out of ideas how to approach this.

how i added observer to peripheral:

i basicall merged the role-tasks for peripheral and observer into one new role-task (and added the handling functionality of these events into the application task that is akin to simple_peripheral/simple_observer etc.).

i recompiled the stack with the peripheral+observer role option.

disabled filtering of already seen advertisements (so i can see a continuous stream from the same beacon).

Please help.

Regards

  • Hi Marc,

    It sounds as though something may have gone wrong while adding the observer functionality to your application.

    Here is a sample application that will perform peripheral and observer roles out of the box:

    Perhaps you could reference this app to yours and see where the issue may be.
