nRF52-DK IDE support.

[Ron_R]

Hello, I am having a problem using the Segger IDE. I am using the nRF52-DK and got my SDK download from the following link, nRF5 SDK - nordicsemi.com.

What I did exactly was:

1) Downloaded the Segger IDE 

2) Download the SDK files 

3) Unzipped the folder "DeviceDownload" 

4) Navigated: DeviceDownload\nRF5_SDK_17.1.0_ddde560\nRF5_SDK_17.1.0_ddde560\examples\peripheral\blinky\pca10040\blank\ses 

5) Tried to run the blinky code but was responded with the following

Linking 'blinky_pca10040.elf" 

error: .text section is larger than specified size

error: .rodata section is larger than specified size

6) Running the blinky code was thus unsuccessful and I unsure if I missed a step or did a step wrong. 

And advice or recourses would be appreciated. Thank you.

Care to explain why you wanted to use outdated and unsupported software?

Install VS code, start with the new NRF connect SDK.

Hi. Thank you for the reply. I am also open to using VS code; I installed the "nRF Connect for VS Code Extension Pack" and then tried to install the toolchain but it fails right as the download is about to reach completion. I tried researching the issue and it said it is most likely an internet connection issue. Have you ran into this issue before?

Edit: I followed the Nordic semi YouTube channel instructions.

Hi Aaron,

Can you take a look at our NCS Fundamentals Class -- https://academy.nordicsemi.com/courses/nrf-connect-sdk-fundamentals/

It will walk you through installing NCS via VScode.  Please click on the NCS 3.0.x method.

Let us know how you make out.

Thanks
