Some Multiprotocol Zigbee_BLE example apps not building SDK for Thread and Zigbee SES

[mennamorato]

Trying to build examples from nRF_SDK_for_Thread_and_Zigbee_v3.2.0, with SES 4.22 for PCA10056 dev kit. (Windows 10)

Of the 3 examples, 2 will not build due to linker file not found or crypto cc3310_backend_chacha_poly_read.asm missing:
ble_zigbee_dynamic_light_switch_nus_pca10056_s140 and ble_zigbee_dynamic_light_bulb_eddystone_pca10056_s140.

This one does build: ble_zigbee_dynamic_door_lock_pca10056_s140

Anyone else having this problem? Just wondering.
Thanks

A wild guess:

The Zigbee SDK has quite long paths. There is a "feature" in Windows that some programs will not be able to find files with more than ~255 characters in the path.

Try to copy your entire SDK, and paste it into a folder close to your C-drive, e.g.

C:\Nordic_semi\nRF5_SDK_for_Thread_and_Zigbee_v3.2.0

And try to compile it again.

Best regards,

Edvin

Hi Edvin,

Thanks for the info and I already have my Windows machine set up as you said, I know this path issue can be a problem.

So I got my trusty Mac Mini out and download this SDK and I can build the ble_zigbee_dynamic_light_switch_nus_pca10056_s140 now just fine !

I tried to build the Eddystone solution and now i hit this issue

cannot find ../../../../../../../external/micro-ecc/nrf52hf_armgcc/armgcc/micro_ecc_lib_nrf52.a: No such file or directory

even though I can see this file in that exact location

So I will try to hunt this down but maybe you have an idea of whats going on here

[Edvin]

You have to run the .bat/.sh script (windows/mac) located in SDK\external\micro-ecc\build_all.bat[/sh]. This will generate the libraries. (you need a GCC ARM Embedded compiler which you can find here.

The version you need is mentioned in SDK\components\toolchain\gcc\Makefile.windows

BR,

Edvin

Hi Edvin,

Ok thanks for the info.  On my PC that .bat file worked, but on my Mac the .sh file has multiple issues with various version of gcc and paths that I have to fix then it should work as well.  thanks for the help.
