I'm developing a product with the nRF52840, using Zephyr (Toolchain & SDK version 2.7.0). Is there a way to set up two PWM outputs having the same frequency and duty cycle, but with opposite polarity (such that when one pin goes high, the other goes low, and vice-versa)?
I'll also need to start and stop the outputs together (or at least close to it).
Thanks in advance for any help,

Try this code for inverted PWM after you configured two PWM in the device tree
const struct pwm_dt_spec pwm_1 = PWM_DT_SPEC_GET(DT_ALIAS(pwm0));
const struct pwm_dt_spec pwm_2 = PWM_DT_SPEC_GET(DT_ALIAS(pwm1));
void configure_pwm_opposite_polarity(uint32_t period_usec, uint32_t duty_cycle_usec)
{
if (!device_is_ready(pwm_1.dev) || !device_is_ready(pwm_2.dev)) {
printk("Error: PWM device is not ready.\n");
return;
}
// Set PWM for the first channel (normal polarity)
pwm_set_dt(&pwm_1, period_usec, duty_cycle_usec);
// Set PWM for the second channel (inverted polarity)
pwm_set_dt(&pwm_2, period_usec, period_usec - duty_cycle_usec);

pwm_set_dt(&pwm_1, period_usec, duty_cycle_usec);
// Set PWM for the second channel (inverted polarity)
pwm_set_dt(&pwm_2, period_usec, period_usec - duty_cycle_usec);
}
Since my duty cycle is 50%, the pulse length for pwm_2 is exactly the same as pmw_1; I don't understand how this gets the opposite polarity.
Maybe there's something I need to do in the overlay file where I define the PWMs?
Here's what I've defined in my overlay file:
Here's what's at the top my source file:
It simply will not compile; it is unable to find pwm0 (I think; it is actually impossible to tell what the build system is unhappy about). Here is the compiler output:
