UART/sdk_config.h settings on custom nRF52832 board, SES

[forsetti]

I am attempting to develop an application for a custom board with the nRF52832. I am attempting to use the UART functions in the SDK but I am running into compile errors. I assumed that I should use the sdk_config.h from the SDK\config\nrf52832\config folder. However, this sdk_config.h does not contain the APP_UART and APP_UART_FIFO flags so I copied those from the UART example sdk_config.h. Unfortunately I am still getting errors. I included them below. I have set the NRFX_UART and NRFX_UARTE drivers to enabled. I can see the first type listed in the rrors clearly in the HAL so I am guessing there is an additional setting I am missing in my config file?

I tried to recreate this, but not able to get the same output that you have. Have you tried to compared your project to the one that has working uarte. e.g. ble_app_uart or the uart project you are already referencing? do a diff of the SDK config file. Check the preprocessor defines. And make sure you have included all necessary directories.

So I took your advice and switched to the sdk_config.h from the ble_uart example and went through all the includes and finally got it building. Thank you.
