Can't build nRF Connect asset tracker

[GSinclair]

Hi all

I have an identical problem to this: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/51567/can-t-build-nrf-connect-project

All my setup is the same, and the problem is exactly the same.

I've run west update after switching to tag v1.0.0

I have a mbedtls director in my ncs folder

Kind regards

Grant

Hello Grant,

I am not able to reproduce this problem. Can you please provide output from your case in Segger Embedded Studio?

Did you follow all steps

What version of Segger Embedded Studio are you using? 

In each subfolder of NCS, please issue the command:

git rev-parse HEAD

And paste the parse for each:

mbedtls
mcuboot
modules
nrf
nrfxlib
test
zephyr

Hi Øyvind

I'm running a clean version of Windows 10, and using SES V4.20a.

Yes I followed all the steps using the Getting Started Assistant v1.0.1, and they all verify ok.

I initially cloned the SDK into a path that had a space in a folder name, and that created issues when importing the project. So I deleted that whole directory (sourcecode_root) and re-cloned the SDK.

Below are the git rev-parse results:

mcuboot

From SES I initially get this JavaScript alert:

Thanks for providing this information! This will be very useful to find the issue. I am working to find a solution. Could you also please take a screenshot of the Environment Options in SES? Go to Tools-->Options-->nRF Connect and screenshot this window. 

Thanks!

Great, thanks for your support!

Here's the requested screenshot.

Hi Grant, 

Looking at the nrfxlib and zephyr git rev-parse results, these are not correct. Did you get any errors or warnings when running west update? Can you please run the following to verify that NCS is up to date:

git checkout master
git pull
git checkout v1.0.0
west update

Kind regards,
Øyvind

[GSinclair]

Hi Øyvind

I don't think there were any errors with west update.

Do you mean to run those git and west commands in /Nordic_sourcecode_root/ncs OR in /Nordic_sourcecode_root/ncs/nrf ?

Just to be clear: when I switched to v1.0.0 that was in /Nordic_sourcecode_root/ncs/nrf, as instructed in the Getting Started Assistant.

Kind regards

Grant

You might be right, but we have to verify.

Sorry for not specifying that. Please run the commands in /Nordic_sourcecode_root/ncs/nrf as instructed by Getting Started Assistant. 

Thanks!
