I need help with converting any example from Keil to SES

[JacobBudny]

Hello,

I've been trying for days to convert any example from Keil to SES, I have road probably every question here on the dev zone but I am unable to fix this, I ever specially install windows on my mac to try if there it would work.

So, I have done everything from official nordic documents, I've been through several problems which I happily solve, but that I'm not able to.

I get those errors:

unplaced section: .log_dynamic_data_app [nrf_log_frontend.o], size=12, align=4

undefined symbol: __SRAM_segment_end__

undefined symbol: __start_log_const_data

undefined symbol: __start_log_dynamic_data

undefined symbol: __stop_log_const_data

I'm working on latest SEGGER, I have tried latest SDK, also 14.2 . The same errors. 

Thanks for reply

It seems like you are not using the correct startup code.  Startup code and linker scripts are different.  Startup code and linker script go in pair. You need to use the one made for SES.

Hey, I have followed instructions from here https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/nordic-blog/b/blog/posts/segger-embedded-studio-a-cross-platform-ide but its a little bit outdated since now there is SES 4.50.

Maybe there is a tutorial of how to rewrite programs from Keil to SES? Please like, I have spent so much hours for that, everyone seems get it done, and I am unable to transfer even Blinky example... 

[Nguyen Hoan Hoang]

Have you change the device address in the config data ?  You need to set it to the I2C device address of your board. 

[JacobBudny]

Thanks, I actually do not ever connect with this by my phone, but It seems that nordic app someway stored it without even connecting. I deleted the app and reinstall and seems fine. 

[JacobBudny]

What exactly do you mean? you mean change dresses in agm_mpu9250.h ? there is I think correct address 

#define MPU9250_I2C_DEV_ADDR0 0x68

0x68 for MPU9250 correct address. 

Can you please elaborate?

In motion sensors demo I have only 2 files in src. board.h and mot_sensor_demo.cpp. In board.h there is no i2c pins defined for nordic dev board. and in mot_sensor_demo.cpp there is only this two lines about i2c (line 61,62)

#define AK0991x_DEFAULT_I2C_ADDR 0x0C /* The default I2C address for AK0991x Magnetometers */

#define AK0991x_SECONDARY_I2C_ADDR  0x0E /* The secondary I2C address for AK0991x Magnetometers */


Maybe is there a way to connect mpu9250 by SPI communication?
That I also have tried, the pins are
MISO 13 --> which is ADD pin on mpu9250 
MOSI 12 --> which is SDA pin o mpu9250
SCK 11 --> which is SCL pin on mpu9250

I did as I write up, and nothing changed, when I run I got "Failed initializing hardware"

When I try a debug I got this:



I assume that it is problem with not seeing sensor?

[Nguyen Hoan Hoang]

You need to know the difference between I2C and SPI.  In SPI the device is selected via it's Chip Select pin.  In I2C the device is selected with its address.  Every I2C device has its own predefined 7bits address.  In the case of the MPU-9250, it's 0x68.

The I2C pins are defined in board.h just above the SPI pin defines.

SDA & SCL are I2C pins.  The ADD is the address selection.  The chip allows you to select 2 different address.  It must be connected to VCC or GND depending on address you want use.  Please read the user guide of your board. You must not assigned those pin to SPI if you want to use i2c.  Otherwise it will cause a conflict and won't work.

[JacobBudny]

Okay, I checked the user guide for my port, and SDA -> 26, SCL ->27. So I connect it. Also of course I connected VCC to 3.3V on my board and GND to GND. 



I am unable to see any i2c pins defined in board.h I really do not understand What do you mean by that it's defined "above" but I assume that if my user guide says its 26,27 so I need to connect it to those and maybe its not need to be defined in board.h yes? 

I am still getting the same error. 

[Nguyen Hoan Hoang]

Are you using the BlueIoThingy or another example ?  The board.h I was referring to is the one in the BlueIOThingy example.  If you use a different project, you can take the I2C setup from the BlueIOThingy example to creat the interface object.  See also this I2C example

https://github.com/IOsonata/IOsonata/tree/master/exemples/i2c

You should not defined in the SPI because it will initialize those pins as SPI.

[JacobBudny]

I dropped BlueIOThingy and said that I will try for the beginning to set up Motion Sensor Demo:
https://github.com/IOsonata/IOsonata/tree/master/ARM/Nordic/nRF52/nRF52832/exemples/MotionSensorDemo

So now I'm trying to get raw values from mpu9250 by using Motion Sensor Demo example. 

[JacobBudny]

So Am I able to get raw values from mpu2950 in Motion Sensor Demo example over I2C/SPI ? Which would you recommend on this example and always I2C or SPI? I heard that magnetometer from mpu9250 is not working with SPI. 

[Nguyen Hoan Hoang]

The MPU-9250 can be interfaced either SPI or I2C. You choose how you want to use it.  Check the data sheet of the MPU for pins configuration. The IOsonata driver supports both mode.

[JacobBudny]

Okay, so lets start again.

I want to get Motion Sensor Demo example to get working with MPU9250 with NRF 5 Dev Board.

I imported the project from IOSsonata library. 

Now. 

What Need to be change in mot_sensor_demo.cpp and board.h to get this example to work with mpu9250 and get it to stream data to eclipse terminal by printf ?

I checked the pinout of my board, and found SCL, SDA is 26,27 and I have connected it. Devboard + mpu9250 are connected and ready. 

Doing Run. I get "Failed initializing hardware" 
Doing Debug, I get:
