Hello,
TASK:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm trying to interface LIS3DH in SPI, and read the who_am_i register.
INFORMATION:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Im using the SDK nRF5_SDK_15.3.0_59ac345.
I copied the SPI program and edited the main program to the below code. In the sdk_config, i have changed the SPI related tags to 1.
Ex: #ifndef NRFX_SPIM_ENABLED
#define NRFX_SPIM_ENABLED 1
#endif
i have disabled the EASY_DMA for all three, as below

For detailed info, information refer the project.
The main file is as below.

PROBLEM:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The code compiles successfully with no error. When I debug, the control gets stuck in the highlighted function below.

, the NRFX_SPI_ENABLED is enabled in sdk_config, but it still appears grayed out, as below
.
DEBUGGING:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thus while debugging, i get the following pattern,
1. in main.c

2. nrf_drv_spi.c, the highlighted code gets executed.

3. as the nrfx_spi_xfer is grayed out as below,

The control shows result as 0 at step 2 and gets stuff at the while loop.
I'm not able to transfer or receive I suppose, as the control is not printing the transfer complete nrf log also. (i.e., the SPI event handler function is never executed)
Kindly help me resolve this
