Zephyr integration

[David Reimondez Garcia]

Hi!

I have written a driver for Dali (prototocol used in lighting management system) on nRF8240. It is a baremetal application which uses the SDK of Nordic (the drivers under integration/nrfx/legacy/). Now I am trying to migrate this driver to a Zephyr application.

I have seen there is project in Zephyr to include the nordic HAL (https://github.com/intel/zephyr/tree/master/ext/hal/nordic)

Is it really possible to migrate a SDK-based driver to Zephyr in a simple way or is it necessary to change completely the concept and base the driver on the Zephyr's Device Driver Mode https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/reference/drivers/index.html

Could you provide some help regarding this? Or at least some examples or some guide on how to develop for Nordic microcontroller over Zephyr?

Thanks in advanced

David

Hi,

 

Note that NCS only supports nRF9160 at this time. Support towards nRF52-series devices in zephyr should go through the zephyr community.

You do not need to use the zephyr wrapper for things like uart or spi.

The nrfx drivers are openly available as modules in zephyr repository:

https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/hal_nordic

 

The config's to enable one, or more, of these is defined here:

https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/blob/master/modules/Kconfig.nordic

 

Kind regards,

Håkon

Hi,

Have you had any success on using the driver implementation on Zephyr?
