Lesson 3 and 4 nRF Fundamentals: I don't receive messages in the Console (terminal)

Hello:

I found the problem.
Norton 360 -Windows 11 antivirus quarantined the file with the FileRepMalware status.

A "FileRepMalware" false positive occurs when an antivirus program, like those using the FileRep system, incorrectly flags a legitimate file as malicious. This happens because the file shares characteristics with known malware, leading the antivirus to mistakenly identify it as a threat.

The file was installed when I installed toolchains, but Norton quarantined it. Check with your staff if they have any information because Norton quarantines the file.

I sent the file to Norton, asked them to analyze it, and send me a response.
I'll let you know what response they send me.

Hi,

Could you check if you have the following file in the toolchain:

C:/ncs/toolchains/0b393f9e1b/opt/zephyr-sdk/arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/arm-zephyr-eabi-objcopy.exe

I suspect it is missing, and that's what's causing this error. Usually, I would recommend uninstalling and installing the toolchain, but since you said you have already done that, you can try pasting the file I attached into the following location:
C:/ncs/toolchains/0b393f9e1b/opt/zephyr-sdk/arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/

Make sure to extract the contents of the ZIP file (.exe), do not paste the .7z file into the location.

devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../arm_2D00_zephyr_2D00_eabi_2D00_objcopy.7z

If you already have this file in the specified location, please send me the CMakeCache.txt file, found in the build folder: build/l4_e1_sol/CMakeCache.txt.

Did you read the answer I sent with the log with build error?

Just copy and paste the full output when building into a text file.

For example, here is my build log when building l4_e1_sol with nRF Connect SDK v3.0.0 for the nRF52840 DK.

devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../l4_5F00_e1_5F00_sol_5F00_build_5F00_log_5F00_ncs_5F00_v3_5F00_0_5F00_0.txt

In addition, please press on this icon next to the WELCOME window in VS Code, save the file that is generated and attach it in your next reply as well.

Hi:

I used the same version in SDK and toolchain..

About You could also try uninstalling the v3.0.0 and v2.9.0 toolchains and installing them again.: I did that.

How can I get the full build log?

I am using VS Code.

Regards

Luiz

Hi,

1. This seems to be an issue with your toolchain. Make sure you are selecting the same SDK and toolchain version when adding the build configuration.

You could also try uninstalling the v3.0.0 and v2.9.0 toolchains and installing them again.

Side note: When sharing a build log on DevZone, it is a good idea to copy the full build log into a .txt file and share it, not just share the specific line that you think is relevant. :)

2. Yes, there is. See Lesson 2 - Debugging and troubleshooting in nRF Connect SDK Intermediate.

Hi:

VS Code Terminal is working. I receive messages from Nrf52 DK.

1-) Do you know why the exercises don't work with V3.0.0 and V2.9.0?

2--) Is there a way to step through a program line by line (debug a program line by line)?

Thanks and best regards

Luiz

Hi:

Thanks for answering.

I was using branch ncs-fund-2.9.0-v2.7.0.
I downloaded main

Board Target: Nrf52dk/NRF52832

FOR ALL EXERCISES IN Lessons 3 and 4 nRF Fundamentals:

For Toolchain and SDK Manager v3.0.0: Buil error
Generating files from C:/myfw/ncsfund/MAIN/l3/l3_e1_sol/build/l3_e1_sol/zephyr/zephyr.elf for board: nrf52dk

For Toolchain and SDK Manager v2.9.0: Buil error

Atenciosamente

Hi Luiz Miranda ,

This sounds very strange.

What nRF Connect SDK version are you building with? Have you confirmed that you are on the correct branch on the GitHub repository? (main for v3.0.0)

Are you flashing the samples using VS Code or west?

Have you tried pressing the RESET button on the board while the Serial Terminal is connected to the port?

Please send me the merged.hex file for Lesson 4 Exercise 1 (full path ncs-fund/l4_e1_sol/build/merged.hex) so I can test the application on my board.

Please send me a screenshot of the Serial Settings on the Serial Terminal application in nRF Connect for Desktop, like below:

Hi,

I will ask around if anyone have any pointers, will let you know if anyone have an idea. I suggest to continue the trial and error approach, and possible attach a logic analyzer to the pins to check for data to narrow it down.
