Preprocessor defines required for nrf52840 dongle.

[gfmoore]

Hi, can you point me to the documentation that tells me what preprocessor defines are required for properly building ble_blinky_c or similar please.

The reason is for setting up c_cpp_settings.json on Visual Studio code.

I can build and flash fine, but when I open some header files I am discovering "PROBLEMS" e.g. in boards.h

Regards, Gordon.

I downloaded and installed Seger SES and opened up the ble-app_blinky in that and eventually! discovered the following pre-processor defines that I put in VS Code c_cpp_settings.json and this seemed to clear all PROBLEMS in the VS Code tab for any file I've so far opened.

            "defines": [
                "APP_TIMER_V2",
                "APP_TIMER_V2_RTC1_ENABLED",
                "BOARD_PCA10059",
                "CONFIG_GPIO_AS_PINRESET",
                "FLOAT_ABI_HARD",
                "INITIALIZE_USER_SECTIONS",
                "NO_VTOR_CONFIG",
                "NRF52840_XXAA",
                "NRF_SD_BLE_API_VERSION=7",
                "S140",
                "SOFTDEVICE_PRESENT"
            ],
            
            //also NDEBUG for release code???

However, I cannot guarantee this is everything and I'd still like a link to any documentation that ennumerates these preprocessor defines please.

ps I updated a previous ticket with these as well. https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/75969/adapting-ble_app_blinky_c-to-work-with-nrf52840-dongle

Hi,

I am sorry for the late reply. I am not sure about what defines you are talking about? If you want to run the ble_blinky_c example from the SDK using the nRF52840 dongle I recommend you take a look at the tutorial for 'nRF52840 Dongle Programming' here on Devzone.

Best regards,
