Setting up ARM GCC and Nordic SDK

[dinesh]

I am beginner on this platform. I was hoping for KEIl IDE to aid my development, but since license fee is more, i wanted to try GCC platform. But unable to set it up. In nAN-29 pdf, chapter 2 document there is a step 6. Select the _build\ble_hrs_gcc_s110_xxaa.outfile in the _build folderof the project. I am unable to fine the file and path. I searched on my laptop through SEARCH EVERYTHING tool. Its not present on my system. I did everything mentioned in the guide. Kindly help. Also, its instruction written all over the place. Not explaining what is happening and meaning/purpose. Could someone please give me brief overview ( i am just started on GCC + ARM platform).

I suppose you would need a successful build (compile+linking without errors), before both the folder and .out (binary) file are produced.

There is a some work involved with getting Eclipse+GCC to work, but once you have invested the time I can assure that you are going to like it. I have tried both platforms, and though Keil is a lot easier to get working, I think Eclipse+GCC is the better choice in the long run. So go ahead and see if you can figure the problems one by one. Troubleshooting will teach you a lot of how the Eclipse+GCC setup is working - it did for me.
