Hello
I have problem with setup ANT stack for asynchronous transmission in nRF51422 SOC.
If I call ant_channel_assign() and set CHANNEL_0_ANT_EXT_ASSIGN=EXT_PARAM_ASYNC_TX_MODE (0x20) then I got return_value=0x4033 (= NRF_ANT_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER_PROVIDED).

/* Set Channel Number */
    return_value = ant_channel_assign(CHANNEL_0, 
                                      CHANNEL_0_TYPE, 
                                      ANT_CHANNEL_DEFAULT_NETWORK, 
                                      CHANNEL_0_ANT_EXT_ASSIGN);
    if (return_value != NRF_SUCCESS)
        handle_error();

Hi,

What are the values of CHANNEL_0, CHANNEL_0_TYPE, and ANT_CHANNEL_DEFAULT_NETWORK?

Note that the nRF will have to be configured as a master to be able to enable asynchronous transmission (check CHANNEL_0_TYPE).

CHANNEL_0 = 0x00
CHANNEL_0_TYPE = CHANNEL_TYPE_MASTER (0x10)
ANT_CHANNEL_DEFAULT_NETWORK = 0x00

Chip has date "1233", maybe that old stack firmware has bugs.
SoftDevice version: 'AXX1.01B00'

Hi,

The version of the nrf51422 chip you are using is an engineering release that does not properly support Asynchronous Transmission mode.

This mode is functional in the latest production build version AXX1.06B00 (chip code: QFAAC0).

Regards,
Usama
