Help me to setup nrfsdk in linux

[prateek91]

Hi,

i am trying to compile nrf51_sdk example using linux

I have 1- gcc-arm-none-eabi-4.9-2015q3 in location /usr/local/gcc/gcc-arm-none-eabi-4.9-2015q3

also install nrf_sdk_12.3 in location /home/aggrawal/nor_test/nrfdk/nRF5_SDK_12.3.0_d7731ad/

change the Makefile.posix and set the gcc location to /usr/local/gcc/gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_9-2015q3

after make i am getting error like this

/bin/sh: 1: /usr/local/gcc/gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_9-2015q3/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc: not found
Cannot find: "/usr/local/gcc/gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_9-2015q3/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc".
Please set values in: "/home/aggrawal/nor_test/nrfdk/nRF5_SDK_12.3.0_d7731ad/components/toolchain/gcc/Makefile.posix"
according to the actual configuration of your system.
../../../../../../components/toolchain/gcc/Makefile.common:25: *** Cannot continue. Stop.

please help me resolve this issue.

Hi,

Are you running on a AMD64 installation?

Older arm-none-eabi-gcc builds are for x86.

You could install the 64-bit version from here:

https://developer.arm.com/open-source/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads

Or you can install multiarch support and keep using v4.9:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/454253/how-to-run-32-bit-app-in-ubuntu-64-bit

*edit*

You have an underscore "_" set in the Makefile.posix, while your actual path has a "."

Could this be it?

Cheers,

Håkon

Hi hakon,

can you provide any complete link that we can create good environment for this.

Hi, 

my system configuration is i5 x64

[Håkon Alseth]

If using ubuntu, please see the accepted answer in the askubuntu-link for installing multiarch support in your x64 installation.

Could you also double-check the path set in Makefile.posix vs. the actual path?

You list two different paths "/usr/local/gcc/gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_9-2015q3" and "/usr/local/gcc/gcc-arm-none-eabi-4.9-2015q3"
