build doesn't recognize zephyr files

[Raz_k]

Hello,

im trying to do the first exercise in DevAcademy (https://academy.nordicsemi.com/courses/bluetooth-low-energy-fundamentals/lessons/lesson-2-bluetooth-le-advertising/topic/advertising-process/) and i downloaded the relevent git aip file and opened a new project. its path is: C:\nordic\BLEexample\bt-fund\lesson1\blefund_less1_exer1

and my zephyr files are in : C:\ncs\v1.9.0\zephyr\include\sys\printk.h

the CMakeLists.txt are are as downloaded:

any idea why?

[Elfving]

Hello,

That is odd. Are you able to simply build a default sample from the SDK?

Regards,

Elfving

[Raz_k]

Hey Elfving,

Yes i am able to build and flash an example of BME sample sensor, that is located in C:\bme680

and its CMakeList.txt is:

#

#

find_package(Zephyr REQUIRED HINTS $ENV{ZEPHYR_BASE})

project(bme680)

FILE(GLOB app_sources src/*.c)

target_sources(app PRIVATE ${app_sources})

 

i tried to include the same librarys that where unable to include and build in the original issue file:

#include <zephyr/sys/printk.h>

#include <zephyr/sys/byteorder.h>

#include <zephyr/kernel.h>

#include <zephyr/drivers/gpio.h>

#include <soc.h>

#include <zephyr/bluetooth/hci.h>

#include <zephyr/bluetooth/conn.h>

#include <zephyr/bluetooth/uuid.h>

#include <zephyr/bluetooth/gatt.h>

but i get the same errors as i mentioned before.

 

 

[Elfving]

Hello again,

Ah yes. I see that you are running it in NCS version 1.9. I think the newer versions are the ones that are tested/supported with this course. Try NCS NCS 2.4.0 and above. There are a few changes made inbetween these NCS versions, and 1.9 is starting to get old. If you have a larger ongoing project I would understand if you stick to one NCS version for a longer period of time, but for learning NCS and BLE I would recommend upgrading to the latest NCS versions. 

When it comes to the issue itself, it seems that you need to write #include </sys/printk.h> in NCS1.9, not #include <zephyr/sys/printk.h>. But nevermind that, just install a newer version.

Regards,

Elfving

i removed NCS version 1.9. I and installed the newer version 2.5.2.

and still im unable to build:

 plus i tried in 1.9.1 version to remove the /zephyr/ path in the include, but it didnt help.

[Elfving]

Could you try placing BLEexample/bt-fund/ in /ncs/, maybe there is something strange going on with the west workspace.

What HW are you building the sample for?

Could you check and make sure that you are using a corresponding newer toolchain?

Elfving

Hey Elfving,

A little background:
My main goal is to advertise my BME sample sensor to the app and to be able to control the sensor activation using BLE, meaning nrf connect app for mobile.

Im using the thingy91. I tried to build it in an thingy91_nrf9160_ns board settings.
However i then saw that the exercise is suitable only to nrf52.

So i switch the SWD to nrf 52 in my thingy91 and build using thingy91_nrf52840 board settings
and it is still unable to build with the same errors as i mentioned before even after moved the directory to the path you mentioned.

Also, yes I checked the toolchain I'm using and it is exactly like you added in the your attached screenshot.

[Elfving]

Just to make sure that there is nothing wrong with the SDK, toolchain, environment, etc., could you try simply building it for an nRF52DK?

Raz_k said:

I believe it actually should work for the nRF52840 on the Thingy91, though the nRF9160 itself does not have BLE capabilities, which might be reason why it failed - though from the error it doesn't seem like that is the main issue.

Regards,

Elfving
