+//==============================================================================
+// This code shows a problem that occurs when a Ticker is used on the nrf51822
+// along with a BLEDevice. The ticker hangs after a while if the timeout is
+// short enough (around 1ms or less, with 2ms or more being OK). The same ticker
+// works fine if no BLE device is created. The bug was confirmed on both a
+// Nordic nRF51-Dongle and a RedBearLab BLE Nano using the latest BLE_API,
+// mbed-src and nRF51822 libraries as of Jan 3rd 2015.
+//==============================================================================
+// My unconfirmed wild guess is that the bug may be somewhere in
+// mbed-src/targets/hal/TARGET_NORDIC/TARGET_MCU_NRF51822/Lib/app_common/app_timer.c
+// and may be triggered by the BLE stack interrupts delaying the Ticker beyond
+// its next timeout.
+//==============================================================================
+// This code blinks the onboard LED 5 times per second via a 1ms ticker that
+// switches the LED state once every 100 invocations.
+// When BLE support is enabled, the LED blinks a few times and then stops.
+// When BLE support is disabled, the LED keeps blinking forever.
+//==============================================================================
+// Set this to 1 to enable BLE support and trigger the Ticker bug, or 0 to fix
