NRF_MODULE_ENABLED and Eclipse don't play well

[Dave_couling]

The NRF_MODULE_ENABLED macro does not play well with Eclipse.  I've tried enabling all Modules in the Symbols section of Eclipse but still it does not enable any module utlizing the NRF_MODULE_ENABLED(x) macro.  Has anyone gotten this to work?  Its quite annoying that this is only an issue with SDK 15.  I'm using Eclipse 4.6.3

Thanks guys,

Hi, we don't support Eclipse in our SDK, but maybe someone else in the forum may have a suggestion.

I would recommend you to check Segger Embedded Studio (SES), which come with a free commercial license and gcc compiler when developing with nordic nRF5 devices:

All examples in the nRF5 SDK should support SES.

This is super unfortunate as SES is a rather awful IDE.  Eclipse has historically worked great with Nordic SDK's, its sad to see this support has dropped.

Try this blog for Eclipse Dev with nRF5x series works with SDK15.2 and gcc 7

Thanks Nguyen, however this macro expansion post-fix issue still persist on that platform as well

Could you give some more detail on what you mean by that?

Is the build not working?

Is it just the syntax highlighting and/or code browsing not working?

Something else?

I wouldn't go that far - even though I do mostly prefer Eclipse.
