Hi,
I'm running into a frustrating issue where I can get the NRFX_SPIM and my own BSP examples to work, but when I try to combine them - the buttons stop triggering their interrupt handlers. At first, I thought I was overwriting the GPIO button pins but after looking at pca10056.h, that doesn't seem to be the problem.
I am using an nrf52840 dev kit, starting with the nrfx_spim example and adding button support code from the ble_app_blinky. The resulting main is below:

Also just in case it's helpful, here is a screenshot of my project directory:

I've spent 2 days on this and am feeling pretty dumb at this point - writing and re-writing just trying to get a demo where I can start SPIM/easyDMA transfers with a push button! Any/all advice would be much much appreciated. Why would I pull in code from ble_app_blinky? Well I'm putting together some firmware that essentially turns an nrf52840 into a SPI <-> BLE pipe. I have all the BLE side of things working in another project, I wanted to spin up the SPI side of things separate but I wanted to use similar blocks that already exist in my BLE firmware.
