Errors compiling nRF52 ADC project

[AF]

I am trying to compile an nRF52 example project for ADC. The compilation fails with the following errors

Need help to compile the project successfully

Hi,

Please try searching the header files in the Nordic SDK directory for the definitions of NRF_POWER_THRESHOLD_V25. E.g. in SDK 13.0 it is defined in nrf_soc.h, but only if SOFTDEVICE_PRESENT is defined as well. Hence you would need to ensure that the softdevice is enabled for your project.

Hi,

The SOFTDEVICE_PRESENT is defined in the project and the option to include the soft device is also chosen when creating the project. I think there is a bug in VisualGDB and how it generates a project.

I tried compiling the same example in nRF SDK v13 (installed separately) using command line and it just compiled without any errors or warning.

I am currently running VisualGDB in trial mode. If it cannot even generate and build a sample program, then is it worth buying??

Hi,

We are sorry about your experience. We have just retested this by creating a new project for Nordic nRF528232 with the SDK 13.0 and manually enabling the power module and could not get any error. The line mentioning NRF_POWER_THRESHOLD_V23 compile successfully and IntelliSense is able to find the definition correctly.

Perhaps you have imported the project in a way that lets a 3rd-party Makefile control the build and the Makefile itself contains errors? We would be happy to help you if you could let us know how exactly have you created the project so that we could reproduce this on our side.

Hi,

Thanks for the detailed description. We have rechecked this and can confirm that it is a bug in the latest VisualGDB version. The behavior we got was different, although the error you observed could be caused by the same problem. Some samples from the Nordic SDK like SAADC can only be compiled with the softdevice disabled and VisualGDB did not properly override the softdevice setting manually selected on the MCU selection page. We have fixed this in the upcoming v5.3 Preview 5. As a workaround please try disabling the softdevice manually via VisualGDB Project Properties.

Please also update your nRF5x BSP to the latest version (13.0r3) as previous BSP versions might handle this incorrectly.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Can I update my copy of VisualGDB to v5.3 Preview 5?

Cheers

Hi,

Sure, we have just released it: http://visualgdb.com/download/ (use the “try preview” button).

After installing we recommend updating the debug packages via Tools->VisualGDB->Manage VisualGDB Packages. This will install updates that significantly improve the OpenOCD and Segger J-Link debug experience.
