Help Importing Existing IAR Project to SES / GCC

RE: Help Importing Existing IAR Project to SES / GCC

Thanks for feedback, and good luck. As an aside, one of the most tedious parts in SES is to get the include files correct, and sometimes it's easier to just include all header file paths in the project and edit them later to remove those unneeded paths. I added this script to another response recently; it generates either absolute paths or relative paths., the latter in case your project is not in the Nordic tree. Some of the obvious include directories not required can easily be removed. Windows 10 I'm afraid.

Thanks for all the input! hmolesworth your example files are particularly helpful, and your comment makes for a pretty good basic migration guide. I see some of the steps/checks that I was missing in my first attempt. I did have the same initial thought.. to take a standard project and directly compare differences in unaltered linker files, then compare with linker files from our existing IAR project and attempt the migration. Unfortunately upon going through the differences it quickly turned into a more complicated endeavor than I was hoping it would be.

Ultimately we decided to stick with IAR for the time being as there seems to be too much risk in changing at our current stage of development. I will be coming back to this however if we have time later on when development is less active and transitioning is less risky.

It is much faster just to based on an existing SES project (or create new one) then add require files to it. Don't try to convert an Apple to an Orange or vice-versa. You'll get more trouble than what is worth.

A tedious process indeed, we have done a similar exercise. The best guide we found was comparing a standard project (uart or hrs or similar) between IAR and SES; there are only two files needed for this, IAR .icf and .ewp and SES .emProject and .xml which I'm sure you already know. Contrasting those diffs with the same diffs between the specific project files gives the best guide to what is missing.

Here are the IAR and SES linker control files from a working project which has been converted from IAR to SES:

/*###ICF### Section handled by ICF editor, don't touch! ****/
/*-Editor annotation file-*/
/* IcfEditorFile="$TOOLKIT_DIR$\config\ide\IcfEditor\cortex_v1_0.xml" */

/*-Memory Regions-*/
define symbol __ICFEDIT_region_ROM_start__   = 0x26000;
define symbol __ICFEDIT_region_ROM_end__     = 0x7ffff;
define symbol __ICFEDIT_region_RAM_start__   = 0x20002a98;
define symbol __ICFEDIT_region_RAM_end__     = 0x2000ffff;
export symbol __ICFEDIT_region_RAM_start__;
export symbol __ICFEDIT_region_RAM_end__;
/*-Sizes-*/
define symbol __ICFEDIT_size_cstack__   = 8192;
define symbol __ICFEDIT_size_heap__     = 8192;
/**** End of ICF editor section. ###ICF###*/

define memory mem with size = 4G;
define region ROM_region   = mem:[from __ICFEDIT_region_ROM_start__   to __ICFEDIT_region_ROM_end__];
define region RAM_region   = mem:[from __ICFEDIT_region_RAM_start__   to __ICFEDIT_region_RAM_end__];

define block CSTACK    with alignment = 8, size = __ICFEDIT_size_cstack__   { };
define block HEAP      with alignment = 8, size = __ICFEDIT_size_heap__     { };
define block RO_END    with alignment = 8, size = 0     { };

initialize by copy { readwrite };
do not initialize  { section .noinit };

keep { section .intvec };
place at address mem:__ICFEDIT_intvec_start__ { readonly section .intvec };
place in ROM_region   { readonly,
                        block RO_END };
place in RAM_region   { readwrite,
                        block CSTACK,
                        block HEAP };

Compare there SES files with the files generated from your project to get a good guide on what is missing. This SES project uses the internal GCC tool chain, not the external IAR tool chain. Using the external IAR tool chain is also an option when importing the project to SES, but that just further complicates the process. The IAR above is v8.32 if I recall.

Hello,

Can you please provide some information on what version of IAR and SES you are using? I will need this information to investigate here.

It began as a ble_app_hrs example and dfu secure_bootloader example was later incorporated, but it has come a long way.

What version of nRF SDK are these from? And are they still based on the same SDK version?

While I try to find a solution here, have you tried to search DevZone for the error output or similar cases? I found some cases that are similar to your question: [Link1] [Link2] [Link3]

I also found this thread on Segger's own forum, and this Quick Start guide on importing projects. The Segger forum is probably the best place to start.

Kind regards,
Øyvind
