Compiling ble_uart example fails in SES

[Sergio T]

I want to compile the ble_uart example using Segger Embedded Studio. I installed today the latest version V8.16. I am using nRF5_SDK_12.3.0_d7731ad.

I imported the project following the getting_started_nrf5sdk_ses.pdf file and made all changes stated there.

When I compile the I get the following:

What am I doing wrong?

Kind regards

In the meantime, I installed everything in a brand new computer and repeated the process. Now I get a different error:

This error comes on the first trial of compiling, before changing addresses (Chapter 8.3). 

Any idea what is wrong in my setup?

Kind regards

Hi: I now decided to change to nRF52, so I will use the nRF52832QAA for my project instead of the old nRF51.

The advantage is that the nRF52 already has the project for SES.

I downloaded SDK17.1.0 and opened the ble_app_uart project. When I compile it, I get the following error:

Any ideas why?

Kind regards

Hello,

I see from the screenshots that you are using Segger Embedded Studio version 8.16b, but the nRF5 SDK is not compatible with versions 6.20 and later. I recommend installing version 5.42a, as this is the version the SDK was tested and verified with. From the SDK release notes:

The following toolchains/devices have been used for testing and verification:
 
 - ARM: MDK-ARM version 5.25   
 - GCC: GCC ARM Embedded 9.2020-q2.major
 - IAR: IAR Workbench 7.80.4
 - SES: SES 5.42a
