Set a periodic timer (deep sleep, active mode)

Hi,

I used the DA14580 quite a lot in 2017, and need it again for a project. The issue is, I can't get
a periodic timer to work, in active and sleep mode. Let us say, every 100 ms.
ke_timer_set(CUSTS1_TIMER, TASK_APP, 10); works fine, but only in active mode.
Is there something i can initialize in arch_main() which runs in background and does not interefere
with BLE timers and which generates an IRQ for me?
Thanks! I am still reading the documentation, my apologies if the answer is trivial.

Device:

DA14580

Hi irfansehic_p,

As I am able to understand from you question, you want to use a software timer in order to wake up periodically when the device is in extended sleep mode? Did I understand correctly? If I understood correctly, you can use the app_easy_timer(). Please try to clarify what you want to accomplish.

Thanks, PM_Dialog
