Eclipse flash error

[Fitzbow]

Hi, I have some issues with my eclipse setup, I have installed all packages and followed the tutorial (https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/tutorials/b/getting-started/posts/development-with-gcc-and-eclipse). However building the project works, but flashing it via the flash  target (flash nrf52832_xxaa) results in the following error massages:

13:01:51 **** Build of configuration Default for project asdd ****
make VERBOSE=1 flash nrf52832_xxaa
DONE nrf52832_xxaa
Flashing: /media/.../.../.../.../nRF5_SDK_15.2.0_9412b96/examples/peripheral/led_softblink/pca10040/blank/armgcc/_build/nrf52832_xxaa.hex

make: nrfjprog: Command not found
make: *** [flash] Error 127
Makefile:158: recipe for target 'flash' failed

13:01:51 Build Failed. 3 errors, 0 warnings. (took 294ms)

What really bothers me is, that whenever I try to flash it via terminal it wprks just fine and I got no problems with nrfjprog..

Does anyone have a clue?

Btw I'm working on Linux Mint

Hi, 

The error indicates that nrfjprog is not found in your search paths. Have you made sure that the path to nrfjprog is added to your global PATH variable?

Edit: follow up question, if you type "which nrfjprog" in the terminal, does it return the path to the nrfjprog executable?   

[Fitzbow]

Hi,

Yes the Paths are included when i type "which nrfjprog" I get the correct installation folder...

I've just set up the debugger and it works just fine, the only thing that still does not work is flashing my sdk from the flash target

[Vidar Berg]

Strange, it sounds like the same search paths are not available when you run Make. As a test, could you try to echo the $PATH variable from the makefile, then repeat this step from the terminal and see if they match? 

[Fitzbow]

Yes they do match but its not that big of a problem since I am able to flash the device via the debugger, only the target alone wont work

[Vidar Berg]

Maybe I'm not understanding the problem correctly. Can you confirm that you're able to program the chip when you invoke nrfjprog from the terminal, but fails when you execute the Makefile 'flash' target from eclipse?

Another test: open the terminal, cd to where the makefile is located, run make flash then see if you get the same error.
