Unable to parse JSON String when opening project

Because I'm doing more projects with NCS 2, I still have this issue because Nordic Segger keeps on finding my NCS 2 toolchains and breaks.

To solve this I have modified the file arm_segger_embedded_studio_v550c_linux_x64_nordic/cmake/find_ncs_releases.cmake

The problem is located in Zephyr_CONSIDERED_CONFIGS, it contains multiple paths to both NCS 1 and NCS 2 toolchains.

So search for the following code fragment:

if(DEFINED Zephyr_CONSIDERED_CONFIGS)
  list(REMOVE_DUPLICATES Zephyr_CONSIDERED_CONFIGS)
endif()

As you might already have guessed, this piece of code already removes duplicates from the list. The next step would be to remove all NCS 2 toolchain related. I did this with the following code which you can add after the above:

if(DEFINED Zephyr_CONSIDERED_CONFIGS)
  list(REMOVE_DUPLICATES Zephyr_CONSIDERED_CONFIGS)

  # Create a new list to hold the filtered results
  set(filtered_configs)

  # Set the substring that you want to filter by
  set(filter_string "/home/ephimee/ncs/")

  # Loop through all items in Zephyr_CONSIDERED_CONFIGS
  foreach(config IN LISTS Zephyr_CONSIDERED_CONFIGS)
    # Check if the config contains the filter_string
    if(config MATCHES "${filter_string}")
      # If it matches, append it to the filtered_configs list
      list(APPEND filtered_configs ${config})
    endif()
  endforeach()

  # Replace the original list with the filtered one
  set(Zephyr_CONSIDERED_CONFIGS ${filtered_configs})
endif()

Hi,

I have tried to look into this, but I have not been able to find any explanation for why CMake included ~/git/zephyr instead of ~/ncs/zephyr when you had set the Zephyr base.
Since we no longer officially support SES, we will not be able to allocate resources to investigate this issue. However, as you have stated, deleting ~/git/zephyr seems to solve the issue.

Best regards,
Marte

Yes I did. I just double checked.

Hi,

[quote user="ephimee"]It seems that this causes the import to fail, but I have set ZEPHYR_BASE to ~/ncs/zephyr[/quote]

Did you set Zephyr base to ~/ncs/zephyr in the SES environment settings as well? See step 3 in 7. Set up the build environment in SES.

I'm sure I could get it to work from the commandline.
But I prefer to have the IDE for debugging purposes.

Do you know why the CMake includes ~/git/zephyr ?
It seems that this causes the import to fail, but I have set ZEPHYR_BASE to ~/ncs/zephyr

If I remove ~/git/zephyr, the problem is solved.

Hi,

Are you able to build and program the application on the command line? If so, I recommend doing this instead of using SEGGER Embedded Studio.

Best regards,
Marte
