'Make' issue with nRF5_SDK_15.1.0_a8c0c4d

[NordicHam]

Apologies if this is a duplicate post:

I am successfully making nRF example apps in nRF5_SDK_12.3.0_d7731ad using GNU Tools Arm Embedded version 7 2018-q2-update in Windows 7 32-bit.

However, making the same apps within nRF5_SDK_15.1.0_a8c0c4d fails (similar issue reported in other posts), even with exactly the same makefile.windows that I use in 12.3.0.

When I compare the following 2 folders w.r.t. number of files:

..\nRF5_SDK_12.3.0\components\toolchain\gcc
..\nRF5_SDK_15.1.0\components\toolchain\gcc

I notice there are 16 files in the former, but only 5 files in the latter - why is that?

Then, when I copy the following 2 files from the 12.3.0 gcc folder to the 15.1.0 gcc folder, the make is successful:

Makefile.common (overwriting the original)
file_list.mk (does not exist in gcc folder of 15.1.0)

Any ideas?

Thank you

Hi,

Which error did you get? It is impossible for us to know which error you are talking about when you write "similar issue reported in other posts".

I tested on Windows 7 32-bit with SDK 15.1.0 and the same GCC ARM version you used. I modified my Makefile.Windows to the following:

GNU_INSTALL_ROOT := C:/Program Files (x86)/GNU Tools ARM Embedded/7 2018-q2-update/bin/
GNU_VERSION := 7.3.1
GNU_PREFIX := arm-none-eabi

This works just as expected.

Best regards,
Jørgen
