Importing nRF52 ble long range demo to SES

[Julian]

Hi, I am trying to run the following demo here: https://github.com/NordicPlayground/nRF52-ble-long-range-demo

I have followed the instructions and copied the demo folders into the correct location of my SDK folder.

I run Segger Embedded Studio and opened the solution file. However, upon building the solution, I got the error "No such file or directory found" for a number of source files.

Upon inspection, it seems that the full path for the files are incorrect. How do I correct this?

I've tried comparing the include directories for the demo and the default SDK examples and they are about the same.

I tried comparing the path for the boards.c file for a default SDK example and the imported demo.

Here's what I found.

Default SDK example - "/home/julian/nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a/components/boards/boards.c"

Imported demo - "/home/julian/components/boards/boards.c"

Any help is appreciated. Oh, I am using Ubuntu btw.

Hi,

The Long range demo kit projects should compile out of the box. Looking at the path to boards.c in your question, it seems you are one level too close to the root. The correct location is to put the nRF52-ble-long-range-demo folder under the ble_central_and_peripheral. The simplest way to get it right is to navigate to <SDK 15.0.0>\nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a\examples\ble_central_and_peripheral\ from a terminal and call

git clone https://github.com/NordicPlayground/nRF52-ble-long-range-demo.git

You are right, I am able to build the project once the I placed the folder in the correct location. Thanks!

Hi:

Not sure why I am having a problem building the peripheral_long_range_demo.emProject

I did as was mentioned above but I have the following errors.

Building ‘peripheral_long_range_demo_pca10056_s140’ from solution ‘peripheral_long_range_demo_pca10056_s140’ in configuration ‘Debug’

Can someone tell me why ?

I found out that my windows path was too long and windows does not like it.
