Including Wiznet5500 files on the NRF52840DK using VSCode

[Sebastiaan]

Hello,

I am currently integrating the Wiznet5500 drivers into a VSCode project, but I am stuck on where to include these custom modules.

In the previous version in SES (Segger Embedded Studio) these files could be included in the Options --> Preprocesssor --> include paths

Thanks in advance,

Sebastiaan

Hi Sebastian,

Kindly take a look at this ticket.

Hi Priyanka,

As far as I understood from the ticket, the W5500 is a Zephyr driver (and not an external one, so no extra CMakeList arguments are required). So as I have already done I need to set the configurations in my prj.conf file as the following:

CONFIG_SPI=y
CONFIG_NETWORKING=y
CONFIG_NET_L2_ETHERNET=y
CONFIG_ETH_W5500=y

And add an overlay in nrf52840dk_nrf52840.overlay for the spi3 driver matching the pins as following:

&spi3 {
	sck-pin = 47;
	miso-pin = 46;
	mosi-pin = 45;
	cs-gpios = &gpio1 12 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW;
	status = "okay";
	w5500: w5500@0 {
					compatible = "wiznet,w5500";
					label = "w5500";
					reg = 0;
					spi-max-frequency = 1000000;
					int-gpios = &gpio0 20 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW;
	};
};

I can see in the compilation that the w5500 driver is being built.

[190/223] Building C object zephyr/drivers/ethernet/CMakeFiles/drivers__ethernet.dir/eth_w5500.c.obj

The ticket mentioned does however not describe on how to access the driver functions itself.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Sebastian,

You could try including CONFIG_ETH_W5500=y in your prj.conf. This will include the source file. And you will also have to add the header in your main.c file.
