somehow there is no error compiling for pca10056 board and there are errors in new SDK with timer or SPI drivers compiling for for PCA10040 board.

Or, at least, to clearly document that the two sets of definitions are mutually exclusive.

I had to waste a lot of time battling against this kind of thing.

Perhaps it could be automatically detected in the sdk_config.h; eg,

#if defined( <DRIVER>_ENABLED ) && defined( NRFX_<DRIVER>_ENABLED )
#error "Define *either* <DRIVER>_ENABLED *or* NRFX_<DRIVER>_ENABLED - not both!"
// (add further explanation here, and/or pointers to relevant documentation)
#endif

After taking the generic file "sdk/nrf5/config/nrf52840/config/sdk_config.h", i got the same problem. Would it be better to remove the old configuration in the generic file to avoid similar problem for people taking those files provided in the SDK ?

Thanks for taking time to answer to me.

This happens if you have both TIMER_ENABLED and NRFX_TIMER_ENABLED defined in your sdk_config.h.

If you want to use the new defines, find the location in sdk_config where TIMER_ENABLED is defined an remove it or comment it out. Then you can use the "NRFX_TIMERxxxxx" configuration.

If you want to use the old defines, set the "TIMERxxxxxx" and leave all "NRFX_TIMERxxxxx" as they are.

In general, this is true for all driver configurations. If you have both "<DRIVER>_ENABLED" and "NRFX_<DRIVER>_ENABLED" defined, the old define takes precedence. If you want the new defines, you must remove (or comment out) "<DRIVER>_ENABLED" from sdk_config.

Perhaps but I am also using 15 and that is what I needed to do.

Hello Jeff,

Thanks for your answer,

As the SDK V15 (the last one and the one I use) has been updated to be conformed to the nrfX API, there shouldn't be anymore TIMER_ENABLED define in the sdk_config.h file, but instead the define below that I had already enabled:

//  NRFX_TIMER_ENABLED - nrfx_timer - TIMER periperal driver
//==========================================================
#ifndef NRFX_TIMER_ENABLED
#define NRFX_TIMER_ENABLED 1
#endif


Any other suggestion please ?

I was having the same problem.

you need to make sure that the following are set in the sdk_config.h file

// <e> TIMER_ENABLED - nrf_drv_timer - TIMER periperal driver - legacy layer
//==========================================================
#ifndef TIMER_ENABLED
#define TIMER_ENABLED 1
#endif

// <q> TIMER0_ENABLED - Enable TIMER0 instance

#ifndef TIMER0_ENABLED
#define TIMER0_ENABLED 1
#endif

// <q> TIMER1_ENABLED - Enable TIMER1 instance

#ifndef TIMER1_ENABLED
#define TIMER1_ENABLED 1
#endif
