Combining BLE and NFC in nRF52832

[ski]

Hello all,

I got the nRF52832 dev kit and have been playing around with it. I am using Segger Embedded Studio V4.12. I tried out the ble_app_uart and the writable_ndef_msg examples separately and both work fine. I have been trying to combine them into one project now and am not able to compile. I checked out the difference in the sd_config.h files of the two projects and added the differences. I also added files in the nRF drivers folder in the solution.

The error I am getting is:

nrf_error.h: No such file or directory

It points to sdk_error.h file when showing this error.

But in "Options" in the solution, I checked out the included directories and "../../../../../../components/softdevice/s132/headers " is present and this directory has the header nrf_error.h. The entire list of includes is

Will be happy to provide any other information.

Thanks in advance.

Hi.

It could be complaining about not finding this file in the path components/drivers_nrf/nrf_soc_nosd.

Can you also add this to your included directories:

../../../../../../components/drivers_nrf/nrf_soc_nosd

Best regards,

Andreas

Thanks for the answer. On adding that to the include directories, I get the error:

nrf_sd_def.h: No such file or directory

This error is in sdk_resources.h

Again, the file nrf_sd_def.h is there in "../../../../../../components/softdevice/s132/headers". Is it being included twice by any chance from another directory also?

Thanks again.

Hi.

This is a bit strange, could you share your project, so I can look at it?

I can make this case private so that only you, me, and other Nordic employees can see it.

Best regards,

Andreas

Hi,

I am just trying to combine two projects in the examples directory, so you could leave it public in case it is of help to someone else. The folder is attached as a zip file. I had to delete the Output directory as it was 80MB.

Thanks again.

my_blenfc_app_uart - Copy.zip

Hi again.

I was unable to find a solution to this problem, so I tried to merge the two examples myself, and i succeded.

I started from the ble_peripheral\ble_app_uart example, and merged in the \nfc\writable_ndef_msg example into that.

Here it is: ble_app_uart_nfc.zip

Just place it in the examples\ble_peripheral\ folder.

Best regards,

Andreas

Hello,

Actually, the zipped file is just 22 bytes. I don't think it was uploaded. I had to delete the Output directory for the upload to succeed as otherwise it was 80MB.

Thanks.
