nRF9160 SES project load

[HAO]

Hi Team,

May I know your kind advice on the following issue when I tried to Open the SDK project in SES. I have seen some discussions on line but none of them works for me. I am using Win10 64bit OS. Thanks.

Loading solution at_client.emProject

Executing load commands

cmake -GNinja -DBOARD=nrf9160_pca10090 -DBOARD_DIR=C:/ncs/zephyr/boards/arm/nrf9160_pca10090 -DZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT=gnuarmemb -DGNUARMEMB_TOOLCHAIN_PATH=C:/gnuarmemb -BC:/ncs/nrf/samples/nrf9160/at_client/build -HC:/ncs/nrf/samples/nrf9160/at_client

Project load failed

Reported error: solution load command failed (-1) 

Thanks.

Otso Jousimaa It seems that you need to use branch v0.3.0 to be able to use Segger Embedded Studio (SES) with Nordic Connect SDK (NCS). If you want to use SES, I would suggest to checkout this NCS tag. Just follow the commands given in the NCS Getting Started Assistant in nRF Connect for Desktop:

If you are using the master branch by chance, you will need to follow this documentation here. You'll need to currently build the example via cmake, like shown here:

cmake -GNinja -DBOARD=nrf9160_pca10090ns ..  

I would recommend using the v0.3.0 branch & following the NCS Getting Started Guide, as that seems like the easier option currently.

This note may also be useful:

I checked out the tags, the error remains the same. I can compile the project with cmake, but it would be nice to have an IDE.

Hey Guys, Seeing similar behavior as well. I have the latest masters for all repos updated as of 2/22/19

• Windows 10.
• SES: V4.14
• Phyton: 3.7.2
• GNU Arm Embedded toolchain 7-2018-q2-update also tried q4(latest and no luck)

Hi Bjorn, Are you seeing these errors as well?

This is what I am seeing when building solution with SES:

But When I send ninja clean via cmd prompt and then ninja to build the application this is what i see.

It appears there are some known compiler errors with SES when building the solution but if you build the solution using ninja in the build directory using Command prompt after you load the project in ses, it will compile but there are some failures (See above)

I had it working previously but not sure why this is happening now..I also tried the licence suggestions mentioned here and no luck.

RicFlair The master's will not work with Segger Embedded Studio. Please roll back to the v0.3.0 tag using:

Please let us know if it works.

[Bjørn Kvaale]

Otso Jousimaa I have asked about this internally & will let you know when I receive an update.
