Setup nRF52 Thingy SDK with setup_sdk.bat

[MPH]

Having followed the procedure to install the tools from https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/Nordic-Thingy52-FW

I find a build problem when running the file setup_sdk.bat. I am on Windows 10 and I used control Panel to add Git and Make to the PATH ok.

I used GitHub desktop to clone the firmware to here...

The problem reported in the command window is shown below....

I believe the source code file uECC.c is found ok because if I rename it I get a different message which states that it cannot find the source file.

Suspecting that the path to the Compiler/Toolchain was somehow incorrect I changed it to this...

# GNU_INSTALL_ROOT := C:/Program Files (x86)/GNU Tools ARM Embedded/4.9 2015q3/bin
PROGFILES=C:/Program Files (x86)
GNU_INSTALL_ROOT := $(PROGFILES)/GNU Tools ARM Embedded/4.9 2015q3/
GNU_VERSION := 4.9.3
GNU_PREFIX := arm-none-eabi

and I tried some other permutations here but I can't see to resolve the build error. The directories and paths appear correct.

I see some previous build issues reported but none of the fixes appear to work for me.

Some assistance to move on would be much appreciated.

Could you try this instead?

GNU_INSTALL_ROOT := C:/Program Files (x86)/GNU Tools ARM Embedded/4.9 2015q3
GNU_VERSION := 4.9.3
GNU_PREFIX := arm-none-eabi

You might also need coreutils, as indicated in this post.

Before trying again, try to delete the folder _build and micro_ecc_lib_nrf52.a file found in "Nordic-Thingy52-FW\external\sdk13\external\micro-ecc\nrf52_armgcc"

Many thanks, after I installed the coreutils at the link I don't get that error anymore. Here is the result fyi...

I did not change this... 

# GNU_INSTALL_ROOT := C:/Program Files (x86)/GNU Tools ARM Embedded/4.9 2015q3/bin
PROGFILES=C:/Program Files (x86)
GNU_INSTALL_ROOT := $(PROGFILES)/GNU Tools ARM Embedded/4.9 2015q3/
GNU_VERSION := 4.9.3
GNU_PREFIX := arm-none-eabi

Did not delete any other files or folders.

Great to see that it's working for you now. I will ask the thingy developers to add coreutils to the Github prerequisite list.
