BLE stack using PPI channels #ble #nrf52832

robert.konc@...
In my application I was try to use 6 PPI channels. And I discovered that almost all channels is used by BLE stack.
NRF52 chip have dedicated PPI [20:31] channels for radio. Why this challens was not used by BLE stack. Is three any posibilities to change this? Thanks in advance! Br, Robert |

Good question, there exists an issue that can be used for this discussion:

Sebastian, thanks for pointing out the existing issue. Robert, would you please comment on that issue stating the needs of your application so we can evaluate how best to fix this and we can also include you in upcoming Pull Request reviews so you can make sure we've addressed it in a way compatible with your requirements? Andrzej, Vinayak: We should revisit this as soon as possible. Is DTS an option here? I assume not since this is an nRF-specific hardware resource. Carles -----Original Message----- |

The pre-programmed PPI are very specific to Nordic's in-house stack implementation needs. Some of them coincidentally can be re-used in Zephyr implementation. I will try to send a PR by EOD, if its doing in few minutes. Else, assume that it’s a bit more work. Regards, Vinayak -----Original Message-----

Only 5 of the pre-programmed PPI can be reused in Zephyr's BLE implementation. But the task to refactor the controller is not simple (i.e. not doable in a day or two). In upstream Zephyr, PPI's 16,17, 18 and 19 are free for nRF52832. And additionally, 14 and 15 are free if PA/LNA is not enabled. Regards, Vinayak -----Original Message-----

Hi Charles
We need 6 PPI channels to drive BLDC motor. For now I'm modify radio_nrf5_ppi.h. So I could work. File si also attached. In begginig of file is #define CONFIG_BT_NRF52X_RADIO_EVENT_TIMER which enable to use predefine PPI's. |
