Nordic SPI Zephyr example

[jfpastrana]

Hello,

I am looking for an example which uses nrf-spim driver in Zephyr environment. I am currently working with nrf9160 board, and this device has configured by default 

"nordic,nrf-spim" driver. I am not able to find any example (Updated) which uses this driver in Zephyr example. Is there any resource available?

Best regards,

Javier

Hello,

Check out: https://github.com/too1/ncs-spi-master-slave-example 

It's missing an .overlay file for the nRF9160DK, but you should be able to make that based on one of the other .overlay files that are there.

Hello Kenneth,

I have already found this example, and I adapted to nrf9160. The example that you provided is not compiling for the board nrf5340 which is closer to nrf9160 rather than nrf52832.

It throws the following error:

I have did the overlay for nrf9160 but I am facing the same issues as nrf5340 board.

Can you try to add: pinctrl-names = "default", "sleep";

To my_spi_slave in the overlay file.
