i can not open any file from nRF5 SDK folder nor can i build any example project from nrf sdk for mesh .

[arshdeep]

I am unable to build any example project of nrf sdk for mesh. I have added the SDK root in my global macros as : SDK_ROOT=C:\Nordic_Semi\nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a . And still i can not open any file from nRF5 SDK folder. is there any other specific format in which i have to add the path? or some other issue?

Have you downloaded segger embedded studio for example? Which IDE are you using? Once you have downloaded SES, you can open any emproject file (e.g. examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_beacon\pca10040\s132\ses\ble_app_beacon_pca10040_s132.emproject).

Hello, Yes i am using SES and am being able to open the example projects but i am unable to build them. It throws a lot of missing file errors . That is why i think there is something wrong with my nrf SDK path.

I was not able to open this document. Could you please take a screenshot of the errors instead of copy & paste the errors to devzone? Then, I will be able to help you further regarding this. It might be helpful to take a look at our youtube playlist about segger embedded studio: www.youtube.com/watch

I have watched the series and i am currently referring to Getting started tutorial and i think i am making some mistake at this stage of the tutorial. infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp

Segger Embedded Studio determines the location of the nRF5 SDK through macros. Before building the example, you must first configure the SDK_ROOT macro in Segger Embedded Studio. This is a one time global configuration that will still be valid the next time you open Segger Embedded Studio. The SDK_ROOT variable defaults to an nRF5 SDK 15.0.0 instance unzipped right next to the mesh folder if not set.

The SDK_ROOT macro can be set by navigating to Tools -> Options, then "Building". Under "Build" in the configuration list, edit "Global macros" to contain SDK_ROOT=<the path to your nRF5 SDK 15 instance>. Save the configuration.

The path can be verified by opening one of the source files under the "nRF5 SDK" file group. If the macro was set correctly, the file should open in the editor window. If not, it will show an error message telling you that the file couldn't be found.

Not certain you need to do this. I do not have SDK_ROOT in the Global macros. The error you receive is because you cannot find the boards.h header file. This header file is located under components/boards/. Right click on Project '....' , go the common configuration in the left top corner, click on preprocessor tab & double click on the "User Include Directories". There, you should have the line: ../../../../../../components/boards

Can you double check that you can find the file & you can find the user include directories line?
