Unable to build any sample on Windows 10 - Assertion failed: The toolchain is unable to build a dummy C file.

[Victor Groux]

Hi,

I've just received a nRF52840 DK and I'm trying to build and flash the blinky sample on it but the build failed continuously.

I also tried with other sample like the hello_world but it's exactly the same.

My setup

Windows 10 x64	10.0.19045
Visual Studio Code	1.90.2
nRF Connect for VS Code	v2024.3.25
Toolchain (installed with the extension)	2.6.1 & 2.4.3
SDK (installed with the extension)	2.6.1 & 2.4.3
Zephyr	3.9.9
West	1.0.0
CMake	3.20.5
Ninja	1.9.0
Board	nRF52840 DK

The steps I did

After installing everything with the nRF Connect for VS Code extension:

1. Select the toolchain and the west workspace (already did by the extension)
2. Create a new application
   1. Copy a sample
   2. Search and select Blinky Sample
3. Add build configuration
   1. Select prj.conf in the Configuration input
4. Build

It failed (describe below)

In Manage toolchains menu, Validate Toolchain say that No issues were detected with the toolchain

My Problem

After everything was installed, I tried to build the blinky sample to test if every thing work perfectly.

The first time, I'm trying to build the application (first time or after moving/deleting zephyr/.cache/ folder and the build/ directory, it threw me this error:

Source file was:

Every time after this first try give me this error in the terminal (CMakeError.log didn't change) :

I tried to fix this error by adding a dummy _exit() implementation (litteraly void _exit() {} and an header file) to the libc.a mentioned in the log.

After this "fix", when building the application using the extension, I got this error (terminal):

Source file was:
int main(void) { return 0; }

If I rebuild instantly, it throw me the same error with ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': The system cannot find the file specified.

Moving the zephyr/.cache/ directory and/or deleting the build/ folder doesn't change anything at all (except restarting from the beginning of this ticket).

I've tried with different versions of the toolchain (v2.6.1 and v2.4.3), totally reinstall either the toolchain and the SDK, tried to install it with the nRF Connect for Desktop application and the Toolchain Manager that is provide in this application but nothing changed.

Thank for reading this, let me know if you need more information.

[Victor Groux]

1) I confirm that the nRF Command line tools is set in my PATH variable.

2) I don't have errors in the Console tab in the Developer Tools

3) Here is the support information generated by the nRF Connect:

Thank you for providing this. 

There's nothing obvious wrong in the support information but I will bring it to the extension developers for discussion. I've also tried setting up the SDK from a clean Windows machine to see if there's something wrong with the combination of versions in the tools you've listed, but the installation comes out as expected.

If you have one available, could you check with a clean Windows machine if the same thing happens there? Typically (in my experience) when using a machine for a few years I end up with an amalgamation of tools for various programming projects. I have one last hypothesis that the issue is caused by something similar to this, but if you don't think this is the case or you don't have any other machine to test with, then we can wait for some input from the developers w.r.t the fault you're observing.

Kind regards,
Andreas

Thank.

Currently I don't have an other machine to test with but I'm gonna try on my personal computer this evening.

Kind regards,
Victor

Alright,

Let me know about the procedure and I'll let you know when I have some input from the Extension team

Kind regards,
Andreas

That's perfect,

Thank you.
