Hi Håkon,

That's working now - thank you very much! My fault for not looking in the right place and trying to do it myself.

Thanks again,

Steve.

Hi Steve,

It looks like your project is setup with the keil pack structure for all SDK components, or that it has somehow lost its project settings (include paths/preprocessor defines etc). Have you tried basing your port on the keil5 project in the SDKv11 (non-alpha) zip, ensuring that this compiles properly out-of-the-box, and then add the files that you need?

Cheers, Håkon

That was the build log for SDK11 example esb_ptx copied into a rigitest.c, with all the required software components selected.

Thanks,

Steve.

Could you please post a build log, or similar, showing the issue you're seeing?

Cheers, Håkon

Hi Håkon,

I have the latest non-alpha version of the library. Please can you tell me how I can get Keil 5.20 to work with SDK11 so I can try to compile its ESB examples?

Thank you!

Steve.

Hi Steve,

Are you using the SDK v11-alpha? This does not include the opensource nrf_esb library. It was included in the stable release of v11: developer.nordicsemi.com/.../nRF5_SDK_11.0.0_89a8197.zip

This release is only available in .zip format. Could you try this one and see if it compiles and runs properly?

Cheers, Håkon

That didn't make a difference when compiling the SDK11 ESB example. The DevicePack examples do compile OK, sorry I didn't explain that clearly - it's the SDK11 ESB example that won't compile in Keil, but are fine with GCC.

The readme.txt in C:\Keil_v5\ARM\PACK\NordicSemiconductor\nRF_Examples\11.0.0-2.alpha indicates that the example "proprietary_rf\esb\esb_ptx_prx" isn't compatible with the pca10040 nRF52 development board. Is it possible to make it compatible somehow?

RE: Keil 5.20, nRF52 and ESB

Håkon Alseth — Fri, 05 Aug 2016 10:53:56 GMT

The examples should compile out-of-the-box, but I suspect that Keil is missing one component at your end. It seems there's an issue with the "updater" part of Keil, so it's not finding this component. Could you try manually downloading this and installing it? developer.nordicsemi.com/.../NordicSemiconductor.nRF_DeviceFamilyPack.8.5.0.pack

It should open as a "keil pack installer" when you run it.

Hi Håkon,

Thanks for the advice. I'm an experienced developer but I am new to development for Nordic devices and the Keil compiler. This is a new project so I'm happy to go with whatever is the recommended route for developing ESB communications on Keil.

I was hoping that there would be a working example, but there doesn't seem to be one in the DevicePack example, so I was trying the SDK example instead. Is there a working example for developing ESB under Keil?

Thanks again,

Steve.

Hi Steve, Are you porting from the .lib of ESB to the open-source "nrf_esb" library? If yes, I would recommend to port step-by-step, and try the examples in SDK 11 first to get to know the new API. Unfortunately, we do not have a porting guide for your specific use-case, but we do have one for micro-esb to nrf_esb: devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../

Cheers, Håkon

Steve H — Fri, 05 Aug 2016 08:12:33 GMT

Hi Håkon,

I've tried copying the code from the ESB examples in SDK11 to a project within Keil, but it won't compile - the ESB headers in the nRF52 device pack seem to be very different from SDK11.

RE: Keil 5.20, nRF52 and ESB

Håkon Alseth — Fri, 05 Aug 2016 06:55:17 GMT

Hi,

The older esb.lib files are only compatible with the nRF51x22. In SDK v11, an open source implementation of nrf_esb (based on the microesb project on our github) was added. This has support for both nRF51x22 and nRF52832, and with all compilers that we support (gcc/iar/keil).

Do you get any error message while compiling or debugging on Keil?

Best regards, Håkon
