nrf51-ble-app-lbs in SDK 9.0

[Henry]

Hi Noridic, I follow the Application note Nan_36 and download the nrf51-ble-app-lbs project as a practice, but the compiling is not smoothly with SDK 9.0. I finally fix the compile error but met the link error. Please kindly give some helpful suggestion. Thanks. Below is the build log:

you need to add nrf_drv_gpiote.c file.

You will find it in components\drivers_nrf\gpiote\

After that you will encounter a known issue and a linker conflict with app_gpiote.c and nrf_drv_gpiote.c, you can solve it if you follow instructions from this thread,

[Henry]

Hi Aryan, Thanks for rapidly response. Before I met the conflict you mention. I met the below problem first:

In file nrf_drv_config.h:

/* GPIOTE */
#define GPIOTE_ENABLED 0

It seems the macro must set to 1 to pass the compile, but I have no idea what the real meaning of this flag, any document talk about that?

/* GPIOTE */
#define GPIOTE_ENABLED 1

[Henry]

Thanks, after pass the thread, I met another problem is missing symbol nrf_drv_common_irq_enable() The solution is adding the nrf_drv_common.c into the project.

I hope the example projects in the document could have a well maintenance to fit the latest SDK. Please forward this comment to your SDK engineers, thanks.

The SDK team knows this. They fixed it and it will be released soon with the new SDK

[Susheel Nuguru]

Hmm, i have seen this a lot, SDK team also knows this. Good that you managed to identify and fix it by yourself :)
