nRF Connect SDK Fundamentals Course_ I systematically get stuck in building fund_less3_exer2

[p143]

Hi All.

Regarding this exercise, are we sure there is no bug in the https://academy.nordicsemi.com/courses/nrf-connect-sdk-fundamentals/ documentation? 

After installing the nRF Command Line Tools, the VSC, the nRF Connect for VS Code Extension Pack, the 2.6.1 Toolchain and the 2.6.1 SDK

1.- Using the Terminal from VSC, I put the empty directory fund_less3_exer2 in c:/nordic/myapps/fund_less3_exer2.

2.- I open this directory with the nRF Connect SDK Explorer.

3.- I follow the 2-4 documentation procedures.

4.- I select the Open an Existing Application from the nRF Connect Welcome view.

5.- I select Add a Build Configuration.

6 .- I press Build ....

And that´s it.

(I also tried several times to re-install both the Commands Line and VSC apps, and any related data in c:/nordic/myapps and c:/ncs with no results. I am using a Windows 10 and had no problems with the previous exercises)

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Juan

Hi Juan,

Could you attach the support information?

Ctrl+Shift+P -> Generate Support Information

I typped (Ctrl+Shift+P) in VSC but couldn´t find "Generate Support Information"

Hi Priyanka.

"Generate Support Information". Is this the info you were asking me for?:

Hi Priyanka.

Did you finally discover why the command "Build Configuration" after the "Add Build Configuration" does not work? According to terminal comments (I am not an expert), something happened with Cmake or the GCC. In fact, every time I reinstall the whole suit, I find something funny. When I reach the Extension Pack installation step,  all the extensions should show in "install" status since they should all be uninstalled. Instead, when you press the options button, you are only offered to uninstall, and never install, so to make sure, every time I reach this step, I uninstall and reinstall all of them. The problem is strange since I had no problems compiling the code in the three previous examples.
Any suggestion?

Thanks for your help.

Juan

(N.B. In the third image of my first conversation, you can see that in one of the attempts, Y wrote mysunction.h instead of myfunction.h, but the problem is not there since I corrected it and tried again, with no results)

Hi Juan,

There have been reports of issues with the Add Build Configuration and we are working on this.

Could you install the v2.7.0 SDK from the Toolchain Manager , then open the VSCode via the Toolchain Manager and try building the sample? Please let me know if your issue persists.

Hi Priyanka.

In both cases, following your instructions (SDK v2.7.0 and Toolchain v2.6.1) and also according to the pop-ups recently incorporated into the installation process of the Toolchain and the nRF Connect SDK (SDK v2.7.0 and Toolchain v2.7.0), the result, at least for me, is "error code 1." See the attached screenshot.

Regards,

 

Juan

Hi Priyanka.

Good news. Using version 2.6.1 for Toolchain and SDK, I successfully built and flashed the file fund_less3_exer2_solution. Still, I got error 1 again while building fund_less3_exer2 using the course documentation, so it looks like we know what is causing the errors. I will confirm the suspicion by doing the following exercises. Thanks.

Juan

N.B. Please tell me how to send images that have not been published on the Internet and don't have an associated URL. Thanks.

Hi juan,

Is it possible to compress the screenshot or images to a zip file and attach it here?
