PDM example in SDK 15.3.0

[sarnab]

I cannot find an example project for using the PDM module on SDK 15.3.0. Can you please direct me to where I will be able to find such an example project?

Thank you.

Hi, Sarnab I too, have the same question as yours. So how far have you reached?I tried the example which Simonr have provided the link for the example. But I am getting the following errors:

undefined reference to `nrfx_pdm_init' and undefined reference to `nrfx_pdm_start'

@ Simonr if you have any idea about how can I solve the above errors?

[sarnab]

Hi Sara, I was able to get it working though I have not extensively tested if the data is valid. To get the nrfx_pdm_xxx() functions you have to include nrfx_pdm.h in your project. Hope that helps. Also if you are able to get meaningful data please let me know what you did!

[sara]

yes it takes me to file to the file and when I right click on nrf_drv_pdm_start it takes me to its macro definition in nrfx_drv_pdm.h  as  nrfx_pdm_start 

[sarnab]

Hmm, that is strange. What IDE are you using? I am on Segger Embedded Studio (SES). Are you sure your include paths are set correctly?

[sara]

yes I have set the paths correctly.I have added #include "nrf_drv_pdm.h" in main .c file , then added the following in the   .emProject file <file file_name="../../../../../../modules/nrfx/drivers/src/nrfx_pdm.c" />  is there anything else I am missing? 

And I m using SES too. SDK ver 15.3.0

The error was solved, I had not enabled 

#ifndef PDM_ENABLED
#define PDM_ENABLED 1

I programmed the code but now question is how should i check whether pdm is working properly or not? I am not storing anything in flash. For now, I just need the data of pdm so how should I test it to get the results

.For your reference, I am attaching my code snippet

I have checked the clk pin on Oscilloscope , the clock is not being generated.In order to generate clk at pin number 22 of nrf52 DK board should I define pin clk as #define CONFIG_IO_PDM_CLK 0x22 or 0x16 (hex value of 22 )instead of 0x22?

[sara]

And when I read the pdm documentation it says I need to change the PSEL.CLK register value? Then how should I do it and with what value? same for PSEL.DIN register. I am confused a lot. Please suggest me the solution to all my doubts.

Hi

Could you please create a new ticket where you explain your problem, and what your application is supposed to do in order for us to get a better overview of what exactly is wrong. This will also ensure this ticket won't derail into something completely off-topic.

Thanks,

Simon
