Where should the SPI master enable definition be set? (nRF51 SDK v9)

[puz_md]

The nRF51 SDK (version 9) documentation tells to activate SPI using the SPI_MASTER_0_ENABLE and SPI_MASTER_1_ENABLE macros. Where should these definitions be made? Other components seem to use nrf_drv_config.h for their configuration but spi_master does not include this file. Why is SPI treated differently?

Update: In the meantime, SDK version 10 was released. There, the issue has been resolved and the new SPI driver offers a very easy way of configuration and usage. Further, both synchronous (blocking) and asynchronous (callback event) SPI operations are supported an SS handling of the driver can be disabled.

Hi

As gortok points out you enable the SPI by inserting the processor symbols in Keil

SPI_MASTER_0_ENABLE    
SPI_MASTER_1_ENABLE  

This is set in e.g. spi_master example in nRF51 SDK 9.0.0 as shown in the following screenshot

Hi Stefan, thanks for the feedback. In fact, I now that I can set preprocessor symbols (I'm using GCC with makefile, though). I was just wondering why the SPI driver is treated differently (or if there is a differnet place where all drivers should be configured). For a straightforward software design, it would be nice to have all hardware configuration in the same place. Sorry for not making this clear in my initial question.
