@Darren, additionally I have a compilation error reporting "conflicting types for "app_start" and same for app_stop, what i'm doing wrong?

@Darren, did u mean app_button.h and ble_conn_params.h maybe?

Darren, yes you're right. Happy Coding! ;)

monpetit,

I found a some additional locations that also required the above changes, see below.

in bsp.c

#if defined(FREERTOS)
APP_TIMER_DEF(m_button_timer_id);
#else
static app_timer_id_t m_button_timer_id;
#endif

in app_button.c

#if defined(FREERTOS)

APP_TIMER_DEF(m_detection_delay_timer_id); /**< Polling timer id. */ #else static app_timer_id_t m_detection_delay_timer_id; #endif

in ble_conn_params.c

#if defined(FREERTOS)

APP_TIMER_DEF(m_conn_params_timer_id); /**< Connection parameters timer. */ #else static app_timer_id_t m_conn_params_timer_id; #endif

Where did you get FreeRTOS port from? Is is our tech support prerelease version or is it any other FreeRTOS port builded for NRF52? NRF52 FreeRTOS would be provided with SDK 11 - so maybe it is worth waiting?

For example,

in the app_timer.h:

...
#if defined(FREERTOS)
typedef struct app_timer_t { uint32_t data[CEIL_DIV(APP_TIMER_NODE_SIZE, sizeof(uint32_t))]; } app_timer_t;
typedef app_timer_t * app_timer_id_t;
#define APP_TIMER_DEF(timer_id)                                  \
    static app_timer_t timer_id##_data = { {0} };                  \
    static const app_timer_id_t timer_id = &timer_id##_data
#else
typedef uint32_t app_timer_id_t;
#endif
...

in the bsp.c:

...
#if defined(FREERTOS)
APP_TIMER_DEF(m_leds_timer_id);
APP_TIMER_DEF(m_alert_timer_id);
#else
static app_timer_id_t   m_leds_timer_id;
static app_timer_id_t   m_alert_timer_id;
#endif
...

Darren,

I have tested the FreeRTOS example with nRF52 SDK. The app_timer_freertos.c of FreeRTOS is not compatible with nRF52 SDK 0.9.2 because the app_timer module is changed in nRF51 SDK 10.0.0. You have to modify app_timer.h and bsp.c to use FreeRTOS with nRF52 SDK.

I will using the nRF51 10.0.0 and your GitHub reference. Thanks again.

Darren, I have not tried using it with the nRF52 SDK. I am using nRF51 SDK to use Keil MDK packs. But it's worth a try to use nRF52 SDK with the FreeRTOS. I'll do later. =)

monpetit,

Thanks for the reply. So to be clear you are running the nRF51 SDK 10.0.0 on the nRF52 dev kit? Have you tried using this with the nRF52 SDK 0.9.2?

Cheers, Darren

You have to modify project configuration and files a little to use SoftDevice with FreeRTOS on nRF52-DK. Here is my example project you can refer.
