Hi Paulo,

Great to hear that you figured it out! I was referring to the sdk_config.h header file from sdk 15. When I used that sdk_config file, I did not receive the same error.

It is also worth mentioning that there is an experimental dimming example in the mesh sdk v2.2.0 that uses PWM from SDK 15. I was made aware of this today.

Kind Regards,

Bjørn

I finally found the solution here.

I completely removed code section that as the reference to the legacy driver, PWM_ENABLED, in sdk_config:

// <e> PWM_ENABLED - nrf_drv_pwm - PWM peripheral driver - legacy layer
//==========================================================
#ifndef PWM_ENABLED
#define PWM_ENABLED 0
#endif

It seems that for some reason sdk_config.h doesn't show up in the dependencies of main.c on Mesh SDK 2.0.1 proxy_server example:

But it does for 2.1.1 and 2.2.0, maybe that's the reason why this issue only showed up in this newer releases.

Hi,

Today I tried to enable PWM driver in Mesh SDK 2.2.0.

Got exactly the same error: 'NRFX_PWM0_INST_IDX' undeclared here (not in a function)

Hi,

To which sdk_config are you referring to?

Is it the one that is inside: \examples\light_switch\proxy_server\include\ ?

Because I compared that one from Mesh SDK 2.0.1 and Mesh SDK 2.1.1 and they are identical.

Hi Paulo,

I am taking a look at it now. I believe it has something to do with the sdk_config file. I tried copying the sdk_config.h file from sdk 15.0.0 & then the error did not appear anymore. I tried updating the config file from sdk 15 to include all of the mesh related things, but then I received quite a few linking errors. I will update this thread when I have more info.

Bjørn

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

I had a look at the new release of Mesh SDK 2.2.0, there seems to be a lot of changes.

So, if this issue has a simple fix, I would rather keep with 2.1.1 for now as it is closer to 2.0.1.

Note that I already enabled successfully PWM in Mesh SDK 2.0.1, is on the 2.1.1 that I'm having problems.

Hi Paulo,

Very sorry for the delayed response. Do you still want to use mesh sdk v2.1.1 or would you rather use the latest v2.2.0? There have been a few changes that might be useful for you. I will check out what is going wrong as soon as you let me know which mesh sdk you would like to use. Have you already taken a look at the documentation provided here (v2.1.1 & v2.2.0)?

Kind Regards,

Bjørn

Hi,

I just confirm that this is a problem with Mesh SDK 2.1.1.

I tried again using a fresh new project to add PWM to the light_switch server and proxy_server on Mesh SDK 2.0.1, both worked fine.

On 2.1.1 it fails to build due to the issue I described previously, on both server and proxy_server examples!

Any idea how to fix this?

Thank you!

Paulo Zacarias
