Error[Pe020]: identifier "NRFX_RTC0_INST_IDX" is undefined

Hi,

In trying to take the PPI example code from nRF5_SDK_17.1.0_ddde560 and adapt it to use RTC for an event-end-point, I get the following error:

Error[Pe020]: identifier "NRFX_RTC0_INST_IDX" is undefined main.c 45

 

on the following line in my main.c:   

static const nrfx_rtc_t m_rtc0 = NRFX_RTC_INSTANCE(0);

I've looked at NRFX_RTC0_INST_IDX - Nordic Q&A - Nordic DevZone - Nordic DevZone and sdk_config confusion - Nordic Q&A - Nordic DevZone - Nordic DevZone, and ensured that the RTC driver and its instances are enabled in sdk_config.h, yet I still get this error:

// <e> NRFX_RTC_ENABLED - nrfx_rtc - RTC peripheral driver
//==========================================================
#ifndef NRFX_RTC_ENABLED
#define NRFX_RTC_ENABLED 1
#endif
// <q> NRFX_RTC0_ENABLED - Enable RTC0 instance

#ifndef NRFX_RTC0_ENABLED
#define NRFX_RTC0_ENABLED 1
#endif

// <q> NRFX_RTC1_ENABLED - Enable RTC1 instance

#ifndef NRFX_RTC1_ENABLED
#define NRFX_RTC1_ENABLED 1
#endif

// <q> NRFX_RTC2_ENABLED - Enable RTC2 instance

#ifndef NRFX_RTC2_ENABLED
#define NRFX_RTC2_ENABLED 1
#endif

I presume that config\nrf52832\config\sdk_config.h is the correct place to be looking for the enable defines, rather than in nrfx_config\.h, for the version nRF5_SDK_17.1.0_ddde560 that I'm using?

Hello,

It's been a long time since I worked on the nRF5 SDK, but if memory serves me right, please check that if you are using nrfx that you at the same time disable nrf_drv driver, so something along the lines of:

#define NRFX_<PERIPHERAL>_ENABLED 1 // Enable the nrfx driver
#define <PERIPHERAL>_ENABLED 0 // Disable the legacy nrf_drv driver (edit: better yet, remove it)

For further details check out:
https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/sdk_nrf5_v17.1.0/page/nrfx_migration_user_guide.html

Hi Kenneth ,

Further down my sdk_config.h file, there is this section, which seems to already be doing the disablement of the legacy nrf_drv driver which you describe:  

// <e> RTC_ENABLED - nrf_drv_rtc - RTC peripheral driver - legacy layer
//==========================================================
#ifndef RTC_ENABLED
#define RTC_ENABLED 0
#endif
// <o> RTC_DEFAULT_CONFIG_FREQUENCY - Frequency <16-32768>

#ifndef RTC_DEFAULT_CONFIG_FREQUENCY
#define RTC_DEFAULT_CONFIG_FREQUENCY 32768
#endif

// <q> RTC_DEFAULT_CONFIG_RELIABLE - Ensures safe compare event triggering

#ifndef RTC_DEFAULT_CONFIG_RELIABLE
#define RTC_DEFAULT_CONFIG_RELIABLE 0
#endif

[Kenneth]

Actually, try to remove completely RTC_ENABLED from sdk_config.h, because the #if defined(RTC_ENABLED) directive checks whether RTC_ENABLED has been defined, regardless of its value, see how it's done in: \integration\nrfx\legacy\apply_old_config.h
