west build -b nrf9160_pca20035 FAILED (Windows 10)

[Dheeraj]

 

Hi, 

I am trying to build an "asset tracking" application in Windows 10 using power shell, but it failed. 

Please find the logs below and direct me to the correct path.

Hi.

When building from the command line, you must set two environment variables:

ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT=gnuarmemb

GNUARMEMB_TOOLCHAIN_PATH=<path to the toolchain install folder>

I've attached a picture of the content of the folder GNUARMEMB_TOOLCHAIN_PATH should point to

Best regards,

Didrik

[Dheeraj]

Hi, 

Yes, before post the above query, I have set environment variables. 

Again one more time, I have set and tried. 

set ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT=gnuarmemb

set GNUARMEMB_TOOLCHAIN_PATH=C:\gnuarmemb\7 2018-q2-update

But the same error. 

I can see "-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!"            ==> Can you please refer me for the right configuration 

Even though the right version of Python and west have installed, it's still demanding for the specific version, didn't understand...!!  

And I am using tags (v1.0.0), I hope this won't cause any error. 

Thank you for your help. 

[Didrik Rokhaug]

Did you open a new shell/run refreshenv after setting the environment variables?

There are newer versions of west than the one you have. You should upgrade to v0.6.3.

Looking at your output one more time, I also noticed this line:

git describe failed: fatal: No tags can describe '5aa1e0d5fd58bb60cd76c19bfb175888dd473e8f'.

Python 3.8 struggles with installing some of the dependencies. Could you try to downgrade to 3.7?

Also, on v1.0.0 you need to change the name of one of the dependencies (more info here: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/51051/nrf-connect-sdk-install-issue-hub-2-0-not-found-leading-to-build-errors/205107#205107).

In ncs/zephyr/scripts/requiremtents.txt, can you change the name "hub" to "git-spindle", and install the dependencies again?

[Dheeraj]

Yes, I have followed all the steps above. But further, below Errors, I can see. 

python --version  Python 3.7.2
west --version     West version: v0.6.3
 git branch

master

* v1.0.0               ==> currently using branch. 

git-spindle=2.0 (ncs/zephyr/scripts/requiremtents.txt)

[Didrik Rokhaug]

Can you try commit 2ca6e9cb010f7ec29308cb3cb589c1d68dc2f8e5?

That commit works for me.

cd ncs/nrf
git checkout 2ca6e9cb010f7ec29308cb3cb589c1d68dc2f8e5
west update

You must also remember to delete the build directory or add the -p flag after doing changes to the environment to avoid using cached values.

Hi, It worked. Looks like Master has some issues. 

What is the difference between Nordic Thingy91 (pca20035) and nRF connect DK (pca10090)

Thanks for your help.
