Dear everyone,
I am exploring embedded development with nRF products. In particular, I am trying to setup projects both in pure Zephyr and nRF Connect SDK (NCS) to see which are the differences.
From my understanding, NCS is built upon Zephyr, so Zephyr function should be available when compiling the project using NCS. Nonetheless, I have a simple blinky project that I can compile using pure Zephyr, while I get an error using NCS.
The incriminated code is the following:
if (!gpio_is_ready_dt(&led)) return;
I can compile correctly if I use this code instead
if (!device_is_ready(led.port)) return;
The gpio_is_ready_dt function is missing from the driver.
This sounds really strange to me since the function is present in the NCS/Zephyr documentation (here). I have also text-searched the function in the used zephyr repository and, indeed, it is not present in the driver file.
I am using ncs v2.2.0 (which calls zephyr v3.2.99), while in the pure Zephyr I am using v3.2.0.
I would like to ask the following:
- Is this an error in the documentation or am I missing something?
- Is it correct to assume that Nordic removes some functions from "standard" Zephyr drivers? Are this differences reported anywhere?
Thank you in advance for your help.
