When I'm installing the devicefamilypack for Keil5, there is "Cannot compile SVD file(s)" errors happend

[newbee]

Hello,

I'm trying to install the nRF_DeviceFamilyPack.8.40.3 & nRF_DeviceFamilyPack.8.44.1 for Keil5 to run the ble_app_uart sample. Both of the packs shows errors, as below:

Installing Pack NordicSemiconductor.nRF_DeviceFamilyPack.8.40.3: Cannot compile SVD file(s)

Installing Pack NordicSemiconductor.nRF_DeviceFamilyPack.8.40.3: Cannot compile SVD file(s)

So how to fix this issue?

Thanks

Hi Liang,

I will discuss this with the team and get back to you as soon as we get a solid response. Could you, in the meantime take a look at a previous case similar to this and try following the steps mentioned there?

Best Regards,

Hello,

Thanks for your responses. For your reference, my Keli5 is 5.38.0, and I have tried to uninstall & reinstall these packs several times by pack installer or standalone pack from Nordic. I notice when the installer began to compile nrf5340 SVD files, it will show the error.

Hello Priyanka,

For your reference, I found the root cause is both nrf5340_application.svd & nrf5340_network.svd contain: <dataType>uint32_t *</dataType>

which cannot be parsed by SVDConv.exe integrated in keil5:

*** ERROR M202: D:/nordicsemiconductor.nrf_devicefamilypacknordiclicense.8.44.1/SVD/nrf5340_application.svd (Line 570)
Parse error: <dataType> = 'uint32_t *'

And in the keil pack directory: Packs\NordicSemiconductor\nRF_DeviceFamilyPack\8.44.1\SVD, there are generated files:

nrf5340_application.errlog
nrf5340_application.sfd
nrf5340_application.SFR
nrf5340_application.svd
nrf5340_network.errlog
nrf5340_network.sfd
nrf5340_network.SFR
nrf5340_network.svd

Here attached errolog shows details:

nrf5340_application.errlog.txt

Are these sfd & SFR files work well? If not, how do I fix them?

Thanks
