Working Workspace for nAN-29 v1.1

[Ignacio Lopez]

I am trying to use Eclipse+GCC for my projects. I found a similar issue as stated in the following post:

devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../nan-29-nrf51-sdk-no-project-files

I have downloaded the blinky_example, but my workspace did not have the common makefiles included in the last line of the blinky_example makefiles in the folder:

include $(SDK_PATH)Source/templates/gcc/Makefile.common

Then I found this files in an old release backup and copied them but at the time of building I found the following error

17:18:23 **** Incremental Build of configuration Default for project blinkyEclipse ****
make all

17:18:24 Build Finished (took 947ms)

lcs3unhosted and lcs3 libraries are missing. I suppose this is because these common makfiles are using Sourcery CodeBench package(nAN-29 v1.0) and not GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors package(nAN-29 v1.1). I have not found in the last SDKs or in the Nordic website a workspace to work with the nAN-29 v1.1 or at least the common makefiles. It would be great if someone from Nordic can shed some light into this issue and upload the right workspace/files.

Thanks.

Thanks Ole for your reply!. Very useful. It was the first step of the first section :o . Well, I manage to compile your example project blinky_example. But I have found a problem while setting up the debugging tool. From the nAN-29 v1.1, in the section 2 step 7 it says: 'Set the Build configuration to Debug.' But I cannot see the this option in the drop down menu. I have attached an image of the issue.

This Debug configuration is project specific, so you'll only see that if you import the ble_app_hrs project, as given in the nAN-29. We don't provide a ready-made project for blinky, so if you want to have a Debug build configuration, you must create this yourself. This can be done from Project -> Build configuration -> Manage menu.

However, you can also choose to just use the Default one. The functionality of this is that you can for example make sure that things are compiled with debug symbols when debugging, but without when just pressing the build button or similar.
