Problem with erratum 249 and MDK V8.43.0 for IAR

Remo

Hi

For the revision 3 of the nRF52832, I've updated to the nRF5 SDK V17.1.0 to apply the workaround for erratum 249.

Afterwards, I saw that there is a newer version of the MDK for IAR (8.40.3 -> 8.43.0) and updated to the newer version.

When I now try to compile the project with IAR 8.50.9 the following errors occurs:

  • In system_nrf52_approtect.h, NRF52_CONFIGURATION_249_PRESENT should be defined before use
  • In system_nrf52.c: NRF52_CONFIGURATION_249_ENABLE should be defined before use

When I have a look at nrf52_erratas.h, there are the defines NRF52_ERRATA_249_PRESENT and NRF52_ERRATA_249_ENABLE_WORKAROUND.
Is it possible that these defines have been renamed in the new MDK 8.43.0 and should also be adjusted in nrf52_erratas.h from SDK 17.1.0?

I have a further question regarding the define ENABLE_APPROTECT. It is not clear to me where and when this must be defined.
Should this be defined in the preprocessor of the project settings when I compile an image that is not intended for debugging?
Is there a sample project that shows how to use this define?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards
Remo

    Hi,

    I was not able to reproduce this issue. Did it work for you when you used MDK v8.40.3 ?

    I have a further question regarding the define ENABLE_APPROTECT. It is not clear to me where and when this must be defined.
    Should this be defined in the preprocessor of the project settings when I compile an image that is not intended for debugging?

    Correct. Set it like this:

    ...

    Also, see https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/pdf/in_142_v1.1.pdf

    Is there a sample project that shows how to use this define?

    There is no specific example for this. Just add the define in your project.

    Hi Sigurd

    Thanks for your answer.

    Thanks for the explanation for ENABLE_APPROTECT. Sorry for this question, I haven't seen that it was already described in IN-142.

    Yes, it worked with MDK 8.40.3, but not anymore with 8.43.0. When I compared the files between these MDK versions, I saw that the mentioned defines have been renamed. Could you send me your nrf52_erratas.h so that I can compare it with my version? Is that correct that the file nrf52_erratas.h is not part of the MDK?

    Edit: 18.10.2021:

    I just saw that I can download the device family pack V8.43.0 from the following site:
    http://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF5_SDK/pieces/nRF_DeviceFamilyPack/
    This file contains the nrf52_erratas.h that differs to the one from the SDK V17.1.0. With the new file, the project compiles again.
    Is this on purpose that the nrf52_erratas.h is contained in the DeviceFamilyPack but not in the installer of the MDK V8.43.0 (nRF_MDK_8_43_0_IAR_BSDLicense.msi)?

    Best regards

    I see the same here. This looks like a bug with the installer. I have reported it to the team responsible for the MDK.
