SPI configuration?

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.

i am getting error like this

undefined reference to `nrfx_prs_acquire'

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:

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

and i need sdk_config file

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.

i need details regarding the library structure what is nrf_spi.h nrfx_drv_spi.h what are all the files i am suppose to include for spi?

How to transfer a data in blocking mode?

code was hanged here

while (!nrf_spim_event_check(p_spim, NRF_SPIM_EVENT_END))

Hi,

I took the liberty to format your C code for improved readability.

You write that the clock was not generated. That means that no SPI transaction was started, so I expect an error has occured. I notice in your code that you ignore most return values. That is a very bad idea, and the first thing you should do is to improve your code so that you check all return values using APP_ERROR_CHECK (particularly the return values from nrf_drv_spi_transfer()). Are there any errors here? What else do you see from debugging?

I see. I suggest you refer to the SPI Master Example and the SPI master driver documentation.

Hi,

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