why am I getting the wrong ble_advertising.h after a update to SDK 8.1.0 from 8.0.0?

[Glenn]

I am getting the following warning and errors after updating to nrf51 SDK 8.1.0 from 8.0.0 Do I need to change something else?

For GPIOTE_CONFIG_NUM_OF_LOW_POWER_EVENTS not found error, You can edit nrf_drv_config.h file. Edit the

    /* GPIOTE */
#define GPIOTE_ENABLED 0

to

    /* GPIOTE */
#define GPIOTE_ENABLED 1

This is an issue with the SDK I think.

That change got me compiling again. I hope that does not have any other implications. I hope a nordic employee will comment with a more official answer.

I got it solved by doing the above

This will be changed back to 0 when upgrading to new SDK. So make a note in your file to remember to change it!
