Porting ble_app_uart for pca20006

[Shreyas]

I tried porting app from pc10028 to pca20006 by copying the main file from pc10028 ble_app_uart to main file of ble_app_beacon of pca20006.I resolved all the #include related issues but now there are some linking errors like :

._build\nrf51422_xxac.axf: Error: L6218E: Undefined symbol app_uart_get (referred from main.o).

How I can solve these issues? Is there is any work around?

Hi,

You need to include app_uart_fifo.c and app_fifo.c source file into your project:

Right click on nRF_Libraries group in the project window. 
Click Add existing files to group 'nRF_Libraries' and add:
  
..\..\..\..\..\components\libraries\uart\app_uart_fifo.c
..\..\..\..\..\components\libraries\fifo\app_fifo.c

If you are using SDK 12, you also need to enable app_uart and app_fifo libraries in the SDK configuration file, sdk_config.h, using #define APP_UART_ENABLED 1 and #define APP_FIFO_ENABLED 1

You should be able to run most PCA10028 examples on the PCA20006 board, by defining the symbol BOARD_PCA20006 in the C/C++ preprocessor symbols. This would typically be easier than to copy the code over to the beacon example.

Best regards,

Jørgen

Thanks a lot sir! It worked!!

Right now by using cmd , I don't know where is the C/C++ preprocessor symbols. I am not using any IDE's , By using cmd I generate hex file.

May I know where I exactly change the board file ?

[Jørgen Holmefjord]

If by CMD you mean GCC/Makefile, the preprocessor symbols are defined in the Makefile. There should be a symbol -DBOARD_PCA100xx in your Makefile, that you can change for use with other boards.

I done my change in Make file . But Still My board PCA20006 not run . I adjust FLASH/ RAM Setting also in beacon_gcc_nrf51.ld file . can you guide me . Is anything is there
