Have a problem with compile under GCC

[IlyaM]

Hey everyone, I'm trying to compile blinky example, using ARM on Mac OS X. I use st-link 2 to flash it. So, the first when I do 'make' command I've got errors

Makefile:220: Cannot find include folder:  ../../../config/ble_app_hrs_pca10028_s130
Makefile:220: Cannot find include folder:  ../../../config

So, I changed this lines for ../config \

It was compiled without errors, but when I flashed it with openocd I did nothing....

I don't see led blink, the same errors with other examples, i.e. hrm, when I flash my board with hex which was come with SDK, everything is ok, but my compiled files don't work

Moreover, makefile has 51422 instead of 51822

The Makefile errors are a issue in SDK 12. Nordic are aware of this (as I reported it) and I believe it will get fixed in a later release of the SDK.

You can ignore those errors or just remove those lines from the Makefile

Re: Code not running

The SDK code is targetted at the QFAC device with 32k RAM. If you are using an nRF51822QFAA it will not work

This can be fixed for the Blink example by changing the linker file and reducing the RAM size by 0x4000

However, the other possible cause is that your nRF51822 device is too old if its a QFAA

You need to have QFAAH0 or newer to use V12 of the SDK with the S130 SD

Another possible cause of problems is that you have not actually managed to upload the code or the soft device

I presume you have pre-flashed the S130 V2.0 SD to the device and also you have read back the chip to confirm that the SD is installed.

Then you need to do the same thing with the application code.

I'd also recommend you think about using some other method to upload, e.g. BlackMagic Probe - as I think that can be flashed to the STlink hardware

Thanks for your reply. My board was flashed by s130, I checked twice. And you mentioned my board could be too old, but I can flash it with pre compiled files from hex folder which were downloaded together with SDK.

I checked, I have 2 chips, the first one is QFAAH0 and the second is QFACA1

If it works with the precompile files its a linker RAM size / location issue.

Is your device nRF51822QFAA ?

[IlyaM]

Nrf51822 QFAAH0 and nrf51822 QFACA1 I tried with QFAAH0 previously

[Roger Clark]

The gcc files won't run on the QFAA as the linker settings are for the QFAC and the stack ends up outside the RAM.

Does it definitely not work on QFAC ?
