Would it be possible to see the snippet of your project.yml where you set up the arm-gcc compiler options?
I'm just going through the process of evaluating using ceedling rather than segger embedded studio and any advice would be much appreciated.

Hi Kenneth,

Thank you for the recommendation. We are pretty far through the project at this point, and I'm hesitant to switch gears. I figured out the error though! So no worries.

I figured it out. It was some higher-level architectural issues messing with the include structure. I fixed it by implementing some #ifdefs.

Even if you patch out the compiler checks somehow - much stuff in the nRF SDK is written only with 32-bit ARM architecture in mind.

E.g. NRF_LOG_XXX macros cast pointers to uint32_t - works fine on ARM MCUs, but will cause severe headache on 64-bit MacOS (or any other non-32 bit platforms).

I'd rather try to run the testing code on the actual device, maybe running code from RAM.

Have you considered using Segger Embedded Studio?
http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.gs/dita/gs/nordic_tools.html?cp=1_0_1

Free commercial license and gcc compiler when developing with Nordic nRF.

Best regards,
Kenneth

I'm developing for the Nordic IC, my dev environment is just Apple - I think I should be fine there, but thanks.

Running ths on your APPLE might violate the licence:
