Power failure comparator, nRF52811

[Aftab]

Hello,

nRFSD5 v16.0, softdevice v.7.0.1, nRF52811

I want to detect power failure/low battery voltage using POF feature of nRF52811 chip. Here is the code I'm using:

#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stddef.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#include "nrf_gpio.h"
#include "nrfx_uart.h"
#include "nrfx_comp.h"
#include "nrfx_systick.h"
#include "nrf_log.h"

#include "cue_driver.h"

static void sys_evt_dispatch(uint32_t sys_evt) { 
    if (sys_evt == NRF_EVT_POWER_FAILURE_WARNING) { 
        //testData = 0; 
        NRF_LOG_INFO("Power failure...");
    } 
}

void pof_init(){
    uint32_t err_code;

    err_code = sd_power_pof_enable(POWER_POFCON_POF_Enabled << POWER_POFCON_POF_Pos);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

    err_code = sd_power_pof_threshold_set(POWER_POFCON_THRESHOLD_V27);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

    // Subscribe for Sys events.
    err_code = softdevice_sys_evt_handler_set(sys_evt_dispatch);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
}

When I compile, get following error:

undefined reference to `softdevice_sys_evt_handler_set'

I searched online but cannot find the cause of error. I found an example here but that is for SDK11. How can I do the same for SDK16.0?

Hi

The softdevice_sys_evt_handler_set is not a part of SDK v16.0.0, which is why it isn't recognized when compiling. I don't think this should be necessary in your pof_init() function. In order to enable the POF feature in newer SDKs, all you should have to do is to call the nrf_drv_power_pof_initI() function (and include the nrf_drv_power.c and .h files in your project), as that function will check whether the SoftDevice is present or not.

Best regards,

Simon

Hi, thanks for reply.

I'm not sure how to use nrf_drv_power_pof_init(), like basically what parameters go into nrf_drv_power_pofwarn_config_t  and how interrupt function is used. Is there any example of it?
