Unable to compile for nrf9160_pca20035 (Thingy:91)

[ArchDevel]

I have been at this for a few days now, I have had a number of compilation errors that I have had to work through and find solutions for, but I am stumped on this current error.

First a bit about my system and the development environment:

Arch Linux 5.3.10-arch-1 (System up to date)

Latest Master Zephyr SDK also install in a separate directory.
Latest Master NCS but with the Joakimtoe NRF Fork (This fork solved a whole host of problems for me, but last update was 11 months ago?)

West v0.6.3
Ninja v1.9.0
Cmake v3.15.5
GCC Arm v7 2018-Q2

ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT=gnuarmemb
ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR=$HOME/zephyrsdk
GNUARMEMB_TOOLCHAIN_PATH='~/.gnuarmemb'
source zephyr-env.sh using the NCS Zephyr Directory

The sample that I am trying to compile is the lte_ble_gateway sample found in the nrf9160 folder of NCS. After changing into the nrf directory I run the command:

west build -p -b nrf9160_pca20035 samples/nrf9160/lte_ble_gateway

The build successfully compiles 136 of 167 of the objects before stopping with a message of:

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
ERROR: command exited with status 1: /usr/bin/cmake --build /home/rex/.nRFConnectSDK/nrf/build

Where should I begin? There looks to be a number of "Warnings" that are being thrown surrounding nrf_cloud_transport.c

[ArchDevel]

Update!

I swapped the nrf_cloud_transport.c file for the file from the Latest Master NCS NRF tree.

I had to swap out a few parameters for the TX and RX pins, Changed the _##idx##_ out for the corresponding pin numbers as guided by the build output. And it seems as though this has solved that issue. However, now the build is having trouble finding the BSD_limits.h file as it is called via a #include statement by at_cmd.c

I located the file on my system at /nrfxlib/bsdlib/include/bsd_limits.h

Do we know where this particular file is looking for bsd_limits.h?

[Håkon Alseth]

Hi,

 

It sounds like the surrounding repositories aren't updated per the ../ncs/nrf/west.yaml file.

Could you ensure that you have the correct checked out repositories for your "nrf" repo by doing this?

cd ../path/to/ncs/nrf

west update

 

Removing your build folder is also highly recommended, especially if reconfiguring board or checking out newer revisions.

If you still see issues, please post the output log.

 

Kind regards,

Håkon

[ArchDevel]

Thank you Håkon,

I did as instructed and it seems as though the problem still exist. Here is the output log for the build.

Selected BOARD nrf9160_pca20035

You are on a branch that is quite old, where the thingy:91 board development was still on-going. Could you instead use the v1.1.0-branch in the original "nrf" repo?

Kind regards,

Håkon

[ArchDevel]

Hey Håkon,

I moved over to the suggested branch on a fresh install of the SDK and Build Environment. It seems as though the SDK is not finding the selected board although a directory does exist under the ARM folder in /nrf. I rectified this by copying the appropriate folder from /nrf/boards/arm into /zephyr/boards/arm. Now complilation stops here... Can you shed some light how I can set these parameters?
