nrf_gpio_cfg() doesn't work in NRF CONNECT SDK V1.8.0

[AD41]

Dear,

I use NRF connect for VScode and I installed SDK V1.8.0 with the nrf for desktop toolchain manager application. The hardware I use is NRF5340.  I want to use pin p0.27 as a GPIO output pin to write 1 or 0 to that pin. This is a part of my code:

This should configure it as output with some other configurations as specified here: 

Now when I hover over the nrf_gpio_cfg() function with my mouse I get this pop-up message:

And when I want to build I get the following error:

When I leave the nrf_gpio_cfg() command out of my code, I don't get any errors so I think it has to do that it doesn't recognize the command somewhere but I have no idea.

Kind regards

Hi,

The function you are trying to call is part of the nRF5 SDK, not the nRF Connect SDK (NCS).

You can find the documentation for the GPIO driver in the nRF Connect SDK v1.8.0 here:

https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/1.8.0/zephyr/reference/peripherals/gpio.html

However, if you are just starting with your development, I highly recommend you start with the newest NCS version, v2.0.0

You can find the documentation for NCS v2.0.0 here: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/2.0.0/zephyr/hardware/peripherals/gpio.html

Finally, if you are new to the nRF Connect SDK, I also recommend that you go through our nRF Connect SDK Fundamentals course.

Best regards,

Didrik
