'NRF_CLI_CMD_BUFF_SIZE' undeclared here (not in a function); did you mean 'NRF_CLI_RX_BUFF_SIZE'?

[Bar]

Hello.

I take the flash_fds example from nRF5_SDK_15.2.0_9412b96, but I am not going to use the CLI (command line interface) because I take the FLASH written, reading capability and doesn't use the CLI (does it mandatory for the example to work?). I didn't have the CLI part defines in the sdk_config.h so all the functions relate to not active (and I check it). but I still get the error for undefined NRF_CLI_CMD_BUFF_SIZE which not exist in the sdk_config.h but no one need it . What does it mean not in a function. 

I try to copy all the CLI defines to my sdk_config.h and do this #define NRF_CLI_ENABLED 0 and now I get this message error cannot find run section .cli_sorted_cmd_ptrs_run referenced in cli_sorted_cmd_ptrs which also don't use in an active functions. 

Who still need them and what can I do to get out of those errors?

Thanks

Bar.

Hi,

It is not enough to disable CLI because other modules may youse it like queue or balloc. Henc you need to disable for instace: NRF_BALLOC_CLI_CMDS 0

I've just successfully get rid of CLI module from: examples\peripheral\flash_fds\pca10056\blank\ses

My steps:

1. I've disabled all CLI related defines in sdk_config 

2. I've removed cli.c from the example and moved 2 functions from cli.c to the main.c file: record_delete and record_delete_next.

3. Inside function record_delete  I have replaced nrf_cli_fprintf with NRF_LOG_INFO.

Errors you see cannot find run section .cli_sorted_cmd_ptrs_run referenced in cli_sorted_cmd_ptrs are related to linker sections reserved for CLI commands. It means that despite CLI is not used some modules are defining CLI commands (like Balloc).

Now after lots of playing with the SDK_config.h xml and the linker script I ended with 1 error cyclic memory section dependency with section .fs_data_run which can't solve also lot of answer with this error name I read.

Now my sdk_config.h look like this 0741.sdk_config.h

and xml like this

I just don't know which of them is response for which section or part in the code.

Hi

It shouldn't have been necessary to make changes in any .xml or .ld files. I suggest you return these to their original settings and only make the changes in sdk_config.h and main.c proposed by Jakub, as well as removing the cli.c file. This should be enough to get rid of the CLI-errors.  We will not be able to help you if you make changes to these other files.

Best regards,

Simon
