SPI configuration?

[venkatesha kj]

when i try to configure spi1 i am getting error, so how can i configure different spi ? 

[Einar Thorsrud]

Hi,

Can you explain which SDK you are using, how you configure your SPI and which error you get? Please elaborate.

To use blocking mode you do not provide a event handler when you initialize the driver using nrf_drv_spi_init(). So in your code, you would change the call to nrf_drv_spi_init() like this:

    APP_ERROR_CHECK(nrf_drv_spi_init(&spi, &spi_config, NULL, NULL));

Then call nrf_drv_spi_transfer() like before (but fix it so that you check return values!) and the function will not return until the transaction has completed.

what are the functions i am suppose to enable in sdk_config file ?

and i need sdk_config file 

[Einar Thorsrud]

Please refer to example I linked to before to see an example of sdk_config.h when using SPI. The relevant section (copy-pasted from the example) is this:

i am getting error like this

undefined reference to `nrfx_prs_acquire'

[Einar Thorsrud]

Ah, yes. I did not think about that. Assuming you have added the requiered include folder etc you are lacking the PRS configuraiton in sdk_config.h. Depending on which sdk_config.h you used as a starting point there may be more like this. Please search for NRFX_PRS_ENABLED and NRFX_PRS_BOX_4_ENABLED in sdk_config.h. You may need to do this with other components as well.
