Blinky Project - Building up and Adding Drivers, Headers, etc

[jdelapena]

Hello,

I am learning the different peripherals using the nRF52 DK (PCA10040). I am using the nRF5_SDK_16.0.0. I am using Segger Embedded Studio on Windows 10 64-bit machine.

I started with GPIO using the blinky project and everything went well.

Now, what I wanted to do is use the GPIOTE module on the blinky project. I tried looking at this video but no luck on my end.

Can someone share the detailed step-by-step process on how to add the GPIOTE driver, dependencies, and configurations to the blinky project?

Any help is highly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, 

Generally, you should 

1. Add nrf_drv_gpiote.c in nrf_Drivers folder
2. Enable driver in sdk_config.h
3. add the path to the nrf_drv_gpiote.h file to the compiler include directories: In Embedded Studio right-click the solution or project and select Code->Preprocessor then User Include Directories and add the path to the file. The file is located in "components/drivers_nrf/gpiote". Depending on where your project file is located relative to the nRF5 SDK you will need to edit the path. Look at the other User Include Directories for help.

This post might help.

Thank you! It has resolved my issue. The path of the header files may have varied on the SDK v.16 but still, I was able to find the solution. Thanks again!
