Building infinite loop

[Joao Colombari]

Hi, 

I am currently finishing the intermediate SDK course of yours and suddenly I got a really strange behavior.

The build just endlessly enters a loop in Found GnuLd as the screenshot shows. I have already tried restarting my computer and SDK and also tried touching VScode with a different SDK version. None worked. 

Any idea? 

João.

SDK version: 2.6.0

Build target: nRF5340 Audio DK

OS: MacOS Sonoma 14.1.2

I have the same Problem (Sonoma 14.4.1, NCS 2.6, nrf52840dk_nrf52840)

It works with NCS 2.5

Hi,

What happens if you use NCS v2.5.0 with toolchain v2.6.0 (instead of v2.5.0), and NCS v2.6.0 with the older toolchain v2.5.0?

Best regards,
Dejan

Dejans,

I had the exact same behavior Chris had. I didn't try using NCS 2.5 with 2.6 toolchain, but did use NCS 2.6 with older toolchains (not only 2.5, but some others as well) and it made no difference. 

After trying changing everything and resinstaling the toolchains with no success, I resintalled every other possible thing - NCS, J-Link and the VSCode extensions and by doing this it finally works. No idea why, but it does"

I also tried to use the ncs 2.5.2 toolchain with ncs 2.6.0 sdk, but the behavior was the same.

clude/generated/autoconf.h'
-- Found GnuLd: /opt/nordic/ncs/toolchains/20d68df7e5/opt/zephyr-sdk/arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-zephyr-eabi/12.2.0/../../../../arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/ld.bfd (found version "2.38") 

Also the same behavior with ncs 2.5.0 toolchain with ncs 2.6.0 sdk.

The project I am trying to build is on ncs 2.6.0 sdk, so doing the reverse would not work.

Hi Joao Colombari , chris1111 and Schmid 

Joao Colombari  It is great to hear that your tools are working properly.
chris1111 andSchmid , please try to do the same. Complete reinstallation of the tools might resolve your issues as well.

Best regards,
Dejan

As previously stated in my initial reply, this was not a solution.  This is not work.

> I have tried to remove all my previous ncs SDK's, remove and reinstall ncs 2.6.0, toolchain manager, nrf connect for desktop, VSCode and all nRF-associated extensions, to no avail.
