SDK 12.0.0 nrf_drv_uart compile error

[Sébastien Le Ray]

Hi,

I think there's an error in SDK12's nrf_drv_uart, some code parts unconditionally use p_instance->reg.p_uart (eg. nrf_drv_uart_task_address_get, interrupts_enable) whereas its definition depends on UART enablement. Either the definition should be unconditional (at a first sight p_uart maps p_uarte correctly) or code should be conditional.

This result in build error with following settings

#define UART_ENABLED 1
#define UART_EASY_DMA_SUPPORT 1
#define UART_DEFAULT_CONFIG_HWFC 0
#define UART_DEFAULT_CONFIG_PARITY 0
#define UART_DEFAULT_CONFIG_BAUDRATE 30801920 // 115200
#define UART_DEFAULT_CONFIG_IRQ_PRIORITY 6
#define UART0_CONFIG_USE_EASY_DMA 1

I also have the same problem (GCC in Eclipse). Turning on legacy UART support just causes other errors.

There are other issues with the driver (see devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../). I've a bunch of patches to fix them but need a Nordic guy to look at them…

Any update on this, I have just run into the same issue.

[Sébastien Le Ray]

I submitted patches through Nordic support but haven't had any feedback yet :(

@Sébastien where have you submitted your patches. Perhaps I can show them to the SDK team.
