Events - SoftDevice to application

Software triggered interrupts in a reserved IRQ are used to signal events from the SoftDevice to the application. The application is then responsible for handling the interrupt and for invoking the relevant SoftDevice functions to obtain the event data.

The application must respond to and process the SoftDevice events to ensure the SoftDevice functions properly. If events for Bluetooth® Low Energy control procedures are not serviced, the procedures may time out and result in a link disconnection. If data received by the SoftDevice from the peer is not fetched in time, the internal SoftDevice data buffers may become full and no more data can be received.

For further details on how to implement the handling of these events, see the nRF5 Software Development Kit (nRF5 SDK) documentation.
