Troubles compiling "nrf52-ble-tutorial-advertising" github project on SES

[Diego Garcia]

Hi

I'm trying to get started with the the nrf52 Dev Kit and the Bluetooth Low Energy tutorial series, I've downloaded the first example "nrf52-ble-tutorial-advertising" from GitHub , but when I try to Build or Compile, I get the next message:

C:\NordicSemi\nRF5_SDK_15.3.0_59ac345\components\libraries\experimental_log\src\nrf_log_backend_serial.c: No such file or directory

I'm using the .zip version of the SDK 15.3.0, so the path of the nrf52-ble-tutorial-advertising folder is:
C:\NordicSemi\nRF5_SDK_15.3.0_59ac345\examples\ble_peripheral

and the path of the main.c file  is:
C:\NordicSemi\nRF5_SDK_15.3.0_59ac345\examples\ble_peripheral\nrf52-ble-tutorial-advertising

If someone has an idea about what's going on, I'll be very grateful
Thanks in advace.

Hi

It seems like you haven't added the nrf_log_backend_serial.c file to your project. Please do this. If you're just getting into SES please see our tutorial videos at our YouTube channel!

Best of luck and regards,

Simon

Thanks for answering
Well, I did what you suggest, but it stilled showing errors.
I tried to compile the project using the 15.0.0 sdk instead of the 15.3.0, and it finally worked.

I thought that both SDK's were fully compatible, it seems that they are not.

Hi Diego

No, due to the changes made in every SDK update, all tutorials can not be expected to work just out of the box, and you'll usually have to do a few minor changes to make the examples work in newer SDK versions. Glad you got it working though!

Best regards,

Simon
