Unknown device compilation error

[Cristian]

I downloaded SDK V17.0.0.9 and opened BLE_APP_UART example from /ble_peripheral folder on IAR EWARM. I choosed ble_app_uart_pca10040e_s112 and compiled without problems.

But I want to test the NRF52805, so I changed "NRF52810_XXAA" in preprocesor tab for "NRF52805_XXAA". The result is:

Fatal Error[Pe035]: #error directive: "Unknown device." C:\Code\Nordic\nRF5SDK17\modules\nrfx\soc\nrfx_irqs.h 61

I checked nrfx_irqs.h and there is no option for NRF52805:

#if defined(NRF51)
#include <soc/nrfx_irqs_nrf51.h>
#elif defined(NRF52810_XXAA)
#include <soc/nrfx_irqs_nrf52810.h>
#elif defined(NRF52811_XXAA)
#include <soc/nrfx_irqs_nrf52811.h>
#elif defined(NRF52820_XXAA)
#include <soc/nrfx_irqs_nrf52820.h>
#elif defined(NRF52832_XXAA) || defined (NRF52832_XXAB)
#include <soc/nrfx_irqs_nrf52832.h>
#elif defined(NRF52833_XXAA)
#include <soc/nrfx_irqs_nrf52833.h>
#elif defined(NRF52840_XXAA)
#include <soc/nrfx_irqs_nrf52840.h>
#elif defined(NRF9160_XXAA)
#include <soc/nrfx_irqs_nrf9160.h>
#else
#error "Unknown device."
#endif

How Should I solve this issue?

Hi

Please check out this guide on "developing for the nRF52805 with nRF5 SDK" by my colleague Bjørn, which describes in detail how you should build a project to make it run as intended on the nRF52805. Some patching of SDK v17.0.0 is required, but this is also described in the guide.

Best regards,

Simon

Thank you Simon!.

Now It's compiling without errors.
