Thank you Vidar. I'll try that!

Hi Antonio, you should select "new Makefile project" instead of importing existing project. This process generates a new project based on existing Makefile / Code

Hi Vidar, thanks for your quick reply.

I am sorry but I must be missing something. If, as per instructions: "Open Eclipse. Enter file->import->General -> Existing Projects into Workspace. Browse ARMCC folder in your SDK Make sure to select the project."

I go to the \nRF5_SDK_11.0.0\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_template\pca10040\s132\armgcc directory, there will be no eclipse project there, because none has been created.

I know that you created, along with all of the file structure, the blinky and ble_app_hrs eclipse projects, and that is why the first instruction is to import those files from your attachments.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

Hi Antonio, maybe it's not clear from the description but this explains how you can create a project from scratch with an existing makefile. This is the approach I used when I made the ble_app_hrs and blinky projects that I included in the tutorial.

So this assumes that you already have the makefile for your project (true for any SDK example). You can for instance start with a project in the \nRF5_SDK_11.0.0\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_template\pca10040\s132\armgcc directory and use that as a starting point for a new project.

Hi Vidar, Under "Create a new Eclipse Project" you are importing a pre-defined Eclipse project. If I wanted to import, for example, any other of the examples, or my own code, it will not work. What I mean by new Eclipse project is in fact starting an eclipse project from scratch and bringing or making files (.c, .h etc) one by one, or a template that would work with any of the other examples, either with the GCC's Makefile defined for them or with a twist, not just blinky or ble_app_hrs.

Thanks!

Thank you, Vidar. I still have another problem. The project created by me sometimes cannot find <stdint.h> and <string.h>. The problem is described in this post:https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/question/82495/eclipse-cannot-find-stdinth-stringh-on-mac-os-x/

@Bee, please make sure that you have set the path to JLinkGDBServerCL correctly like explained in the "Configure environment" section of the tutorial. Then make sure insert the following in in the Executable filed in debug launch config -> debugger: ${jlink_path}/${jlink_gdbserver}

Hi,

I tried to cover this in the "Create a new Eclipse project" section in the tutorial. Please let me know if any of the instructions given there are unclear.

Hi, excuse me~

I'm setting up eclipse and gcc environment, too. I have some other question about debugging. If I press the debug button, eclipse will show informations like this:

'Launching ble_app_hrs Default' has encountered a problem. Error while launching command: gdb --version

Did you meet this problem? Do you know how to fix it?
