SPI for nrf5340dk in ncsv2.8

[KTH]

nrfConnectSDK V2.8

Toolchain

Board: nrf5340dk

Hi, while compiling ncs-spi-master-slave-example , I am getting below errors

In function 'spi_init':
C:/Users/hello/spi/src/main.c:34:8: error: macro "GPIO_DT_SPEC_GET_BY_IDX_OR" requires 4 arguments, but only 3 given
34 | struct gpio_dt_spec spim_cs_gpio = MY_SPI_MASTER_CS_DT_SPEC;

Is it related to sdk version? Can anyone help to resolve ?

Hi,

I recommend you go through the SPI lesson on our academy pages https://academy.nordicsemi.com/courses/nrf-connect-sdk-intermediate/lessons/lesson-5-serial-peripheral-interface-spi/ as well as the sysbuild exercise https://academy.nordicsemi.com/courses/nrf-connect-sdk-intermediate/lessons/lesson-8-sysbuild/topic/sysbuild-explained/.

The unofficial sample that you're using will unfortunately not be maintained and upgraded to support any newer release and the latest version this sample was supported for is NCS older than v2.7.0 as far as I can see.

The only resolution for you is to go through the two supplied links, understand the topics and apply the required changes to the sample you've based the application on.

Kind regards,
Andreas

Hi, We want a design where we want use 2 spi buses for 4 slaves.

        spi_cfg.cs.gpio.pin = 11;
        spi_cfg.cs.gpio.dt_flags = GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH;

}

Giving error only for SPI0_MASTER. when all are SPI1_MASTER, it is building

Can you once check above attached file??

Is there any zephyr spi sample example for nrf5340 for multiple slaves?

Thankyou

[KTH]

Hi,

I tried again to build the same example by selecting nrf5340dk/nrf5340/cpuapp in Board target when adding build configuration. still getting the below errors.

Didn't make any changes to the example.

Also can you once check the configurations in my before post ?

I tried again to build the same example by selecting nrf5340dk/nrf5340/cpuapp in Board target when adding build configuration. still getting the below errors.

You're referring to an unmodified version this sample, right? https://github.com/too1/ncs-spi-master-slave-example/tree/master/src 

If so, please try again but first delete the build folder before building again. I'm not getting any faulty builds for any versions of NCS from NCS 2.5.0 to NCS 2.9.0 

Kind regards,
Andreas

[KTH]

Tried to build again like you mentioned by deleting the build folder before building again, still same.

Previously also, downloaded the example again and tried to build it.

[AHaug]

Strange.. And the errors you're getting is the same as the initial comment in this post?

Please describe in detail every step you do to build the sample. Images are also welcome.

Kind regards,
Andreas

[KTH]

Hi,Here are the images of the building the sample

[AHaug]

Ah, thank you for providing this. You're building for the /ns target of the nRF5340DK. Currently there are no board files for this within the board folder meaning that the SPI configuration is not set up for the build target you're trying to target

Please try again with this target and let me know if this compiles

Kind regards,
Andreas

[KTH]

Hi, tried building with target nrf5340dk/nrf5340/cpuapp selected, still giving errors.

Not able to build zephyr ADC examples also

[AHaug]

Hi

Lets start with the ADC sample first. This sample work for at least the supported boards. Lets focus on the adc_sequence sample within zephyr/samples/drivers/adc.

KTH said:

There are also no nRF5340 board support in the board folder of this sample. It works with any of the boards found within adc_sequence/boards, for instance with nrf52840dk/nrf52840 (below is a result with build from terminal and list of the boards found in the boards folder of this sample. The same can be stated for the VS Code extension).

If you remove and build for the nrf52840dk, do you see the error as you previously did? If you do, then I believe there is something wrong with your installation. Could you 1: generate support information from vs code by opening command pallette in VS Code, i.e

1. Open VS Code
2. Open command pallet by pressing ctrl+***+p
3. search for "generate support information" 
4. Select it and press enter and upload the information here

If we get this working, then we can go back to the spi master sample from too1's git repo

Kind regards,
Andreas

[KTH]

Hi,

adc_sequene sample is building with target nrf52840dk

nrf connect generate support information is as below

adc_sequene sample is building with target nrf52840dk

Thats good to hear. This indicates that the SDK is properly set up and that building an in-tree application works.

KTH said:

nrf connect generate support information is as below

Everything here looks fine and your setup is as good as identical to mine.

W.r.t the spi sample. 

Here's a new, unmodified version of the same sample from here https://github.com/too1/ncs-spi-master-slave-example/tree/master 

 spi_m_s.zip

I've verified with multiple colleagues that this sample builds out of the box for the following configuration

• NCS 2.8.0
• nrf5340dk/nrf5340/cpuapp
• with and without sysbuild

I see that you've previously built the SPI sample from c:\Users\hello\Music\ncs-spi-master-slave-example-master. Could you shorten the name of the sample and preferably place it closer to C:\? Windows has an issue with path length when building any project.

Place the sample for instance within ncs/my_projects

and build for the configuration I mentioned.

Kind regards,
Andreas
