SEGGER emStudio build project failure

[Samuel]

Hi,

After trying to work out why one of our nrf9160 DK:s cannot execute any AT commands using the at_client sample I tried redoing the getting started guide to make sure it is purely a problem with the board. After doing that SEGGER emStudio stopped working and when I try to build a project I get the following error:

This is the same for all samples and I can't figure out why, how can I fix this?

Kind regards 

Samuel

Hi Samuel,

Check out this thread, that has worked for me.

Hi,

thanks for the tip Gurkan. I tried doing as the link you provided suggested:

git checkout c1939d963fe2c18013ffb8de0bd8f6fc1d91724d

west update

But unfortunately the same problem is still present.

Can you share the output log of Segger when you get the error? That might help to point the issue

I get the following output:

I think you have an issue with GNU, which version do you have? I know it's not working with latest version you need to have "2017 q2".

[Samuel]

I have 7-2018-q2-update as suggested in the getting started guide, it is not the latest version. Is that the one you mean or is it a 2017 release that must be used?

[Gurkan]

Sorry my bad I meant 2018, I still cannot accept that we are in 2019
Have you tried to build it with command prompt?

And before building can you check variables are set right by 

echo %ZEPHYR_BASE%
c:\Nordic\ncs\zephyr\

echo %ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT%
gnuarmemb

echo %GNUARMEMB_TOOLCHAIN_PATH%
C:\gnuarmemb

mkdir build & cd build
cmake -DBOARD=nrf9160_pca10090 -GNinja ..

[Samuel]

Yes I tried it. Verified variables:

And then the build:

So it seem to be the same error for building via cmd as well

[Gurkan]

While verifying the variables you only need to run the command as "echo %ZEPHYR_BASE%" and the output should point your folder regarding with variable. in your case it should be "C:/Users/sjonsson2/new_git/ncs/zephyr"

By the way before doing you need to run "zephyr-env.cmd" in your zephyr folder. That script will setup your variables
