Experimental: IEEE 802.15.4 examples not able to debug?

[Meriba]

I'm trying to debug the Experimental IEEE 802.15.4 example on a nRF52840-Preview DK Board PC10056 with IAR Embedded Workbench ARM 7.70. Compiling and linking the project is working, but if I want to download the project to the target, than I receive the following message:

I don't have a file with the name: mac_auto_request.c on my computer. Should this source file be contained into the 802_15_4_lib_iar.a library? How can I change the IAR project to use the library file instead of the source file?

If I program the generated HEX file from IAR with nRFgo Studio into the device, than it is not working.

Which SDK version are you using? Exactly which example are you trying?

[Meriba]

Sorry for this missing information, I'm using the nRF5 SDK 14.1.0 and the example project is: 802_15_4\experimental\wireless_uart

I see the same thing. Does it work if you select 802_15_4_lib_iar.a as alternative file? I will check with the developers why this is happening.

Selecting the 802_15_4_lib_iar.a does not help. It's not only debugging which is not working, also the generated hex file is not working. Pleas let me know, if you have an answer from the developers. Thanks...

I checked with the developers, the example should work without these files. You can skip the box requesting the file. You should also be able to debug the application, but not the 802.15.4 stack, as this is not available as source code. We will check if the stack library is compiled with debug flag set.

How is the generated hex not working? Is the precompiled hex found in the hex folder of the example directory working?
