Problem while building example projects of Nordik nRF_SDK_15.0.0 on IAR IDE

[Vineet Wadke]

Hi,

I am facing problem while building example projects given in Nordik SDK on IAR IDE.

The configuration and development libraries used are,

1. Nordik SDK: nRF_SDK, v15.0.0

2. IDE: IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM, v7.4

3. Operating System of PC: Windows

I did download the archive from SDK from the downloads section and followed the procedure as per given on infocenter Link to install the IAR MDK and then to build the example code from IAR subfolder. While building the example I am getting following error messages,

1. -- Error[Pa050]: non-native end of line sequence detected (this diagnostic is only issued once)
    -- File: <SDK_Path>\components\softdevices\s132\headers\nrf_error.h
    -- Line: 1

2. -- Error[Pe1665]: concatenation with "PUSHED_HEADER_SIZE" in macro "STATIC_ASSERT" does not create a valid token
    -- File: <SDK_Path>\components\libraries\experimental_log\src\nrf_log_internal.h
    -- Line: 420

(Note: These errors are repeated for multiple files)

Can anyone comment on these issues? Am I missing any required configuration for IAR?

Which example is this? I can give it a try to compile and see. The second one is most likely an error in the file as similar one was found here. Can you apply the same fix for the second issue?

The errors mentioned above are observed while building source code from examples>ble_peripheral>ble_app_blinky. The same problem is observed when I tried to built 'ble_app_hrs' example. I think the problem is with some compiler configuration and it persists in most of example codes.

I tried to built the same code on IAR (v8.30) and surprisingly it is getting built there without any error.

But I need to fix this issue since I am having licensed version of IAR (v7.40) and I need to conduct future firmware development on same.

I tried the default example you mentioned and compiled it without any problem. Checkout the snapshot

It can be seen that you are using IAR (v7.60) and I think there is some issue with the compiler for IAR (v7.40). I tried to compile examples from old nRF SDK (v14.2.0) but the proble persists for same.

As I mentioned, there was no build errors for IAR (v8.30) for any example code.

We should conclude that I need to highlight this issue at IAR support.

Any workaround for IAR (v7.40) is highly appreciated.

unfortunately I do not have license for 7.4, so do not know how to fix this.

No issue. I will check for work around while performing development on other IAR version. Thanks for your help.
