SES V416 Open SDK project

[HAO]

Hi there,

I have just upgraded the SES to V4.16 and followed the assistant guide in nRF Connect. I have deleted the old ncs folder (and all files) and also created a new one according to the quick start assistant. But I seemed I could not load the SDK project any more. Could you please help to check and advice. Thanks.

For asset_tracker app, I could not find the CMakeLists.txt. And I could not also see the secure boot app in the latest update... Not too sure if I missed any step. Thanks.

I have reinstalled/upgraded the python and some other tools and got the updated message below now... Thanks.

All right. The issue has been solved. Something I had tried below (in sequence). Hope this helps.

Run cmd as admin,

pip install pyyaml
pip install pykwalify

Please try to install Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017, select the workload “Visual C++ build tools” and check the options "C++/CLI support" and "VC++ 2015.3 v14.00 (v140) toolset for desktop". This step is for Win10 OS.

https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

pip install numpy
pip install elftools
or pip3 install pyelftools

cd ~ncs
cd nrf
git checkout 08b3d50860633bfc56107f7f9b61106c6087e70b
west update

when loading the SDK project, use rf9160_pca10090ns for the board name instead

I am not an expert on this platform. Hope someone could explain which steps are the keys. Thanks.

I would like to add that this solution worked for me with python v3.7.5
