Compilation error undefined reference to app_uart_unit

I am working on  ble_app_blinky  trying to add the capability to transmit data to another device(e.g Arduino).I have already enabled APP_FIFO_ENABLED ,APP_UART_ENABLED  and UART0_ENABLED in sdk_config.h I have also included all the necessary Uart files in main.c but when I compile I get an error Undefined reference to app_uart_init. in main.c APP_UART_FIFO_INIT()   . I am using SDK 15.2.0. What am I doing wrong here?

I have attached main.c and  sdk_config.h below

  • Hi,

    The error indicates that the defintion of app_uart_init() is missing in your build, but seems like you have enabled the module correctly in sdk_config.h already( "APP_UART_ENABLED"). Maybe you have forgotten to include app_uart_fifo.c in your build? Also, as you may have noticed, the ble_app_uart project uses the exact same library if you want something to compare against. 

  • Hi Vidar

    Thanks for the response. But I should have mentioned that I know what the error means , and I do have app_uart_fifo.c under nrf5_SDK_15.2.0/components/libraries/uart , also app_uart.c and app_uart.c.And directory../../../../../components/uart is included in user directory.

    Another strange thing I should mention is that UART_ENABLED 1 in sdk_config.h looks greyed out.

    So I am not sure what is wrong here?

  • Maybe you could upload the entire project here so I can try building it?

    It can be greyed out if it's already defined somewhere else. However, I think you would have gotten a different error if uart wasn't enabled. APP_UART_ENABLED is not greyed out?
