Debugging OpenThread examples with SEGGER

[Mary]

I'm trying to use the SEGGER debugger with one of the OpenThread examples for the nRF52840.  When I click on the "Go" button, it asks for the location of the source files for the OpenThread libraries.  These are not included in the SDK, and there are a lot of them.  I don't want to debug these anyway, only the application code.  Is there a way to tell the debugger not to look for source code for the pre-compiled OpenThread libraries?

I see this:

Then click on Cancel, then see this

Or so I need to get the source files?

There are a lot of these files, and I end up killing the SEGGER IDE with the Task Manager just to make it end.

Thanks,

Mary

Hi,

Which examples are you testing with, and what version of nRF5 SDK for Thread and Zigbee are you using? I tried two examples from V1.0.0 and I'm not seeing messages like this. Could you try cleaning the build files (Build->Clean 'projectname") and rebuild the project?

Best regards,
Jørgen

I tried the CLI example and the MQTTSN_client_publisher example.  

<Install Dir>/examples/thread/cli/uart/pca10056/blank/ses/thread_cli_uart_pca10056.emProject

<Install Dir>/examples/thread/mqttsn_client_publisher/pa10056/blank/ses/thread_mqtt_sn_client_publisher_pca10056.emProject

I was able to run the debugger with one of the heart rate monitor examples, though.

<Install Dir>/examples/ble_peripheral/ble_app_hrs/pca10056/ser_s140_uart/ses/ble_app_hrs_pca10056_s140:uart.emProject

nRF5_SDK_for_Thread_and_Zigbee_v1.0.0

Hardware is PCA10056
