It did at my end:

But you need to use versions of the supported IDE that we have tested, which is specified in the release notes:

I used v5.42,

I opened the blinky_FreeRTOS_pca10056 project from 17.1.0 SDK using the SES 8.10b. When I rebuild, I receive this error. Shouldn't these compile out of the box successfully?

Thanks for the reply...

I tried MDK-ARM 5.25 and it had trouble installing some necessary packs so I'll just use SES. I've never used that before but it looks good so we'll see.

I have also not heard about nRF Connect SDK. I'm assuming this is the new path? Will the nRF5SDK be supported in the future?

Hi,

nRF5SDK v17.1.0 was tested with ARM: MDK-ARM version 5.25. You should use that instead. You might need to download compiler 5 from the ARM website as well.

If you're starting a new project then I would strongly suggest that you use SEGGER Embedded Studio instead, or even migrate to the newer nRF Connect SDK instead of nRF5SDK.

nRF Connect SDK Fundamentals
