micro_ecc_lib_nrf52.lib: No such file or directory

[Mohammad]

I tried to build the "nRF5_SDK_15.1.0_a8c0c4d\examples\crypto\nrf_crypto\aes\aes_all_cli\pca10056\blank"  source code but I got the following error,

.\_build\nrf52840_xxaa.axf: error: L6002U: Could not open file ..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\external\micro-ecc\nrf52hf_keil\armgcc\micro_ecc_lib_nrf52.lib: No such file or directory
Finished: 0 information, 0 warning, 0 error and 1 fatal error messages.
".\_build\nrf52840_xxaa.axf" - 1 Error(s), 0 Warning(s).
Target not created.

Then i got the link below to solve the issue,

I did same as mentioned,

1. Installed latest GCC compiler toolchain for ARM version (Version 7-2018-q2-update).

2. Configure it in "\components\toolchain\gcc\Makefile.Windows" as

GNU_INSTALL_ROOT := C:/Program Files (x86)/GNU Tools Arm Embedded/7 2018-q2-update/bin/
GNU_VERSION := 7
GNU_PREFIX := arm-none-eabi

3. Installed MinGW

4. Cloned the micro-ecc GitHub repository into InstallFolder\external\micro-ecc\micro-ecc

5. Enter the subdirectory for the SoC and the toolchain that you are using to build your application:

• InstallFolder\external\micro-ecc\nrf52_keil\armgcc
• InstallFolder\external\micro-ecc\nrf52_iar\armgcc
• InstallFolder\external\micro-ecc\nrf52_armgcc\armgcc

The above is already exist in the location with Makefile and ext_micro_ecc_gcc_nRF5x.ld files in it.

6. Then tried to run build_all.bat and got the following error

cd _build && mkdir micro_ecc_lib
0 [main] sh 6836 sync_with_child: child 4576(0x1B4) died before initialization with status code 0xC0000142
128 [main] sh 6836 sync_with_child: *** child state waiting for longjmp
/usr/bin/sh: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
make: *** [_build/micro_ecc_lib/.] Error 128

Provide me solution to solve this issue

Hi,

I have not seen this error before. Can you try to run make from windows terminal instead of running the batch script and see if you get the same error?

Hi,

This issue is solved.

after installed msys, open the bash shell script which it located in “C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat”

Then move to "InstallFolder\external\micro-ecc\nrf52_keil\armgcc" on Msys

cd "InstallFolder\external\micro-ecc\nrf52_keil\armgcc"

And execute Make command 

micro_ecc_lib_nrf52.lib is generated
