[En-Nut-Discussion] STM32F103 - ADC

[Achim]

Hi,

what´s the stud of the ADC implement ion for STM32?
I´ve modified the configuration files. Afterwards ADC 1,2 is active in the
qnutconf common device section, but the adc-files are not added to the
make-file and not compiled.

Can anybody help?

Regards,
Achim
