Hello,

'''nrfx_gpiote_in_event_enable' was not declared in this scope; did you mean 'nrfy_gpiote_event_enable'

Why is that''

From the NCS v2.5.2, the NRFX GPIOTE driver API has changed. The function nrfx_gpiote_in_event_enable is no longer available. You should use these nrfx_gpiote_input_configure and nrfx_gpiote_trigger_enable functions instead GPIOTE driver. It's also mentioned here (+) warning: implicit declaration of function 'nrfx_gpiote_in_uninit'; did you mean 'nrfx_gpiote_pin_uninit'? on ncs v2.5.2 - Nordic Q&A - Nordic DevZone - Nordic DevZone

And for the second error, you can not set CONFIG_NRFX_GPIOTE=y in prj.conf in NCS v2.7.0+; use CONFIG_NRFX_GPIOTE0 or CONFIG_NRFX_GPIOTE1 if needed. You can read this case (+) Upgrading ToolChain/SDK from 2.5.2 to 2.7.0 error with GPIOTE - Nordic Q&A - Nordic DevZone - Nordic DevZone
