ppi package errors

[szhaulai]

Hi,  I tried to run an adc example (https://github.com/haakonsh/NCS_SAADC_example/tree/master. ) for nrf5340 in another post ( how-to-configure-the-dma-in-adc-and-how-to-use-async-api-in-adc) . But get a list of errors related to PPI packages. Some error snippets are attached below

It seems the nrfx_ppi.h is replaced with dppi? I am using ncs1.8. Should I change those ppi to dppi in nrfx_ppi.h ? Please help!

Hi,

nRF5340 have DPPI peripheral and not PPI like the older nRF51/nRF52 series ICs. You should not change the header files or drivers, there is a separate driver for DPPI in nrfx, found in nrfx_dppi.c/.h. You can reference this Zephyr sample on how to use nrfx_dppi.

Best regards,
Jørgen
