The Bluetooth Low Energy link cannot be maintained when using LFOSC only.
Revisions Affected
BDescription
A small percentage of devices do not maintain a Bluetooth Low Energy link if LFOSC is used as a sleep clock due to random timing error above 500 PPM.Workaround
A software workaround are available in the SimpleLink F3 SDK >= 8.10.xx to allow devices to operate in the broadcaster, observer and peripheral roles when using LFOSC only. When the software workaround is used, the device can see short periods of operation with reduced throughput and increased power consumption when the timing error occurs. This software workaround does not support the central role. To completely avoid the consequences of increased power consumption and connection throughput or support the Central role, TI recommends using an external 32.768kHz crystal.
