How to update nrfx to the latest version out of the whole ncs?

[cogito666]

Hi Nordic,

I faced a timer in compare mode driver issue and found this issue posting.
#121

Currently I just replace the line by myself.

Is there any way to sync with the latest version of nrfx driver out of the while NCS?

Thanks.

Hi @cogito666 ,

First of all, the recommended way of receiving updated nrfx in a project is to migrate the project to newer NCS release version. This is because given NCS release is associated with given nrfx release quite tightly.

However, you could try to do the following:

• manually update hal_nordic reference in sdk-zephyr west manifest to point to never SHA: https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-zephyr/blob/822bd4f6d37746bc9b060e1d5d24327d4cf73ae1/west.yml#L191

or

• override nrfx directory to be used by defining NRFX_DIR CMake variable at project level: https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-zephyr/blob/822bd4f6d37746bc9b060e1d5d24327d4cf73ae1/modules/hal_nordic/nrfx/CMakeLists.txt#L6-L10 . NRFX_DIR should point to cloned https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/nrfx repo (i.e. this one)

Disclaimer: NCS version used in your project might not be compatible with updated nrfx, resulting in compilation/runtime issues. As stated above, ideally newer NCS version should be used instead, so it is ensured that nrfx and NCS are synchronized
