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'm not seeing this issue with the same examples. Could you try redownloading the SDK, to make sure everything is clean, and try again?

I re-downloaded the SDK from this link:

I compared the resulting zip file with the previous one I had downloaded, and they are the same.  I extracted all the files and retried the Thread cli example with the same results.

I then downloaded the latest J-Link software (6.32f) and installed it (previous version was 6.22g).  Same results.

I had the same issues after upgrading to the latest SES.  Uncheck the "Show this dialog next time" option, then press "Yes" to ignore ... in future.

Thank you! That worked, and only had to be done once for the first file.
