ble proximity and simple uart problem

[Stephen Ore]

Hello community, first time posting a question so please try and forgive any future mistakes.

anyways im new to using the keil IDE and am have some problems. I have dug through a lot of the demo software available for the PCA10001 board and have decided to branch off to do something a little different to get my feet wet in dealing with the compiler. I decided to take the s110 stack and choose the BLE Proximity demo and add in the simple uart. my plan was to include the simple_uart.h and all functions to it would work but that does not seem to be the case. the compiler seems to have and undefined symbol with the use of the simple_uart_config() function and im not sure why since in the simple uart demo all that was included was the header file, which I have done.. am I missing something??

any help would be appreciated. and again sorry for such a dumb question. thanks in advanced.

ps. im using S1106.0.0 and SDK5.1.0 if that helps at all...

Hi Stephen,

Did you add simple_uart.c to your project also?

If not you need to add the above file which carries the implementations of the functions declared in the header file.

i have done so. at least via the "#include simple_uart.c" and unfortunately it did not work.

or should i merely add the existing files(simple uart c files) to the group library's tree available in the projects window of keil? is this the option that you were talking about or something entirely different seeing as what i had done with the #include did not work?

[Stephen Ore]

i have found my own solution :) for anyone starting with Keil like me. this is how its done..

adding existing files (what ever c files needed) to the group library's available in the projects windows.

thank you for your time! much appreciated! until next time...

Yes you are correct. As mentioned you needed to add the source to your project. Glad to see you got everything working.
