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,

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.

[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

[Samuel]

After checking and verifying my variables and changing my folder name for my new install it works. When running cmake it was looking for files in a path that didn't exist anymore (It did not look in the path specified in the variables for some reason but got the old path). So I just renamed my folder to the old name.

Anyway it works now, thank you for your help!

Hi Samuel,

I am getting the same error as you were getting. I dint install it twice. so i dont think it has anything to do with the folder names.

Can you please suggest how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Hi JNair

I am not sure about how to fix you problem since I am pretty new here. But you could try doing as Gurkan suggested a few messages above by running "zephyr-env.cmd" in the zephyr folder to set you variables and try again. Since it seems to be some sort of variable problem from what I can tell.

Looks like it could not find gnu tool chain.
I'd suggest to simply your folder location, just do a clear installation from scratch and use;
for gnu toolchain -> c:\gnuarmemb
For nordic sdk -> c:\nordic\ncs.

[JNair]

Thanks Gurkan for the help. I will try doing that.

[JNair]

Thanks Samuel. Will try installing it from scratch and try again.
