SPIM failed to read after NRF SDK updated to 1.6.x

[squwal]

Hi all,

I am using NRF5340 in my custom board. The spims are working well, they are developed by nrfx lib in NRF SDK 1.5.1.

However, after I updated my sdk to 1.6.1, the spim cannot read correctly anymore.

The chip id I want to read by spim is supposed to be  "0x1a", but always got "0xff".

So is there any changes between sdk 1.5.1 and 1.6.1 on using spim?

Thanks!

Hi,

Could you show me the prj.conf of the project?

Did you make any changes, other than updating the SDK version?

No, I did not change any code, and I use the same board.

Hi Oivind,

Is there any advice for me?

[Øivind]

There was a change to the disk drivers in zephyr, I think that might be the issue. Try to add:

CONFIG_DISK_DRIVERS=n

[squwal]

I added CONFIG_DISK_DRIVERS=n to prj.conf, but still got the same result.

It is very strange, because I tested the program (built in sdk v1.6.1) on 5340 DK board, it worked well. The program(built in sdk v1.6.1) failed on my custom board.

But the program(built in sdk 1.5.1) worked well on both 5340 DK and my custom board!

So I really want to know why and what is the different between 1.5.1 and 1.6.1?
