NRF_DRV_SPI_INSTANCE_0 undeclared here

Hi all,

I wrote a nice library for using an offboard SPI flash chip and am now trying to port it to our master code which runs on freertos.. I wrote the library starting with the spi example in the sdk15.. and it works great. I did this because the freertos code that we already have is built on sdk15 and I thought it would be simple to port.. anyways I keep getting this 'NRF_DRV_SPI_INSTANCE_0 undeclared here' error in nrf_drv_spi.h even though I think I've set up sdk.config exactly the same(with respect to spi) as in the example.. I've spent a lot of time playing with the definitions in sdk_config, commenting and uncommenting and re-defining the sections for mspi, spi, and nrfx_spi... to no avail..

it almost seems as if the sdk_config doesen't affect the defines in_nrf_drv_spi.h.. I am looking at the lines in nrf_drv_spi.h.. I can't seem to get the bottom 3 lines to be black..

***************************************************************************************

#define NRF_DRV_SPI_INSTANCE(id)    NRF_DRV_SPI_INSTANCE_(id)

/*colin If I add this in here, the bottom becomes defined, but I enter a whole other pool of undefined errors.. this is not how I'm supposed to do this...
#define NRF_DRV_SPI_INSTANCE_0 \
        { 0, { .spim = NRFX_SPIM_INSTANCE(0) }, true }
//end colin*/

#if NRFX_CHECK(NRFX_SPIM0_ENABLED)
    #define NRF_DRV_SPI_INSTANCE_0 \
        { 0, { .spim = NRFX_SPIM_INSTANCE(0) }, true }

****************************************************************************************

I've seen a bunch of people on here with the same or similar error.. it's got something to do with the new spi stuff... I just don't really know what the 'propper' way to do this is...

I'm including my sdk config as a seperate (obnoxiously long) file...

Any addvice appreciated.. spent a while on this one.. ;)

thx-colin

Yes, getting the sdk_config.h right can be a real pain.

Perhaps it might help to look at the preprocessor output - so you can see what the compiler's actually seeing ... ?

Build failed

thanks, so- a coworker of mine also said to check out the preprocessor output.. so this is the build output when I clean it and check the keep preprocessor output option.. I looked at this a bit and nothing really jumped out at me.. is this what you mean? is there a way to get a more verbose output?

my basic problem is that this spi instance is not declared... I shouldn't need to declare this in my code right?? It should be defined globally by sdk_config no? Also- I really can't figure out where/when sdk config is included.. 

does this make any more sense to you?

thanks, coin

[Simon]

I nice tip to prevent all the hassle with the sdk_config file is to act like the NRFX definitions don't exist. When you want to enable something, you should always use the legacy definitions (non-NRFX). E.g. use SPI_ENABLED instead of NRFX_SPI_ENABLED.

You should also use the legacy API instead of the NRFX API. E.g. use nrf_drv_spi_init() instead of nrfx_spi(m)_init(). 

The legacy api/definitions will always override the NRFX counterpart.

If you do this, everything will work much smoother.

Best regards,

Simon

Thanks all..

I ended up re-starting this whole process this morning, had the same problem.. honestly I couldn't get this to work as intended I think, I cheated a couple of times and dropped in some #def's right before they were tested.. Its not pretty, I'm not proud of it but it does functionally work as intended... and I'm up and running again.. then I had some errors w some other include and moved that to the master and it was all happy :/

again, thanks for the input, I think my takeaway is to always build up from the project I want and never attempt a merger..
