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

[Luiz Miranda]

Hi:

I don't receive any messages in the console during any of the exercises in Lesson 3 and Lesson 4 of the nRF Connect SDK Fundamentals.

No errors occurred during the Build.

I'm using Windows 11.

I used the Terminal from the SDK and from nRF Connect for Desktop v5.2.0.

I used the program "Hello Word nRF" to a console using UART, the nRF 52 DK was detected, I opened the Terminal and I also didn't receive any messages.

Do you have any idea where the problem might be?

Regards

Luiz Miranda

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.

arm-zephyr-eabi-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.

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.
