nrf52832_xxaa.out: cannot execute binary file

[pierre jo]

hello I am new on nrf52 and I would like to run the example for the ant+: "bpwr_tx".

I am on a nrf52832 chip (with a pca10040 1.2.4 demo board ), I am using nRF5_SDK_15.0.0 with netBeans 8.2 on a Mac and the SoftDevice is s212. 

I have download the softdevice from thisisant.com and uncomment the ANT_LICENSE_KEY line.

I can build the example after having added this line in the makefile "$(SDK_ROOT)/components/softdevice/s212/headers/nrf52/ANT_s212_nrf52832_5.0.0.API/include" because I had an error for missing files. It creates a .out file in the "ant/ant_plus/ant_bpwr/bpwr_tx/pca10040/s212/armgcc/_build/" repository.

And then I am block with the following error:

ant/ant_plus/ant_bpwr/bpwr_tx/pca10040/s212/armgcc/_build/nrf52832_xxaa.out: cannot execute binary file

Do I miss something in the configuration?

On the other hand I can run perfectly the blue_app_hrs project, and I tried to follow the same steps.

thank you

Hi!

Sorry about the delay.

Did you take a look at the Running examples that use a SoftDevice - Running ANT examples?

"There are no Keil or GCC targets to program these SoftDevices. You must therefore use nRFgo Studio to program them."

Cheers.
