New nRF9160 DK, and I'm unable to create the build environment and open the application sample in Segger.

[jkase]

I followed the issues from https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/54149/error-by-loading-solution-on-ses, which fixed the zephyr script issues, but was seeing the same problems at the end of this discussion.

I installed branch v1.1, as per the suggestion.  I re-ran the zephyr install script, which completed.  However, I'm seeing multiple errors running the script:

pip3 install --user -r nrf/scripts/requirements.txt.  I'll list the error log below.

Also, if I quit SES, I have to re-install the license when re-opening every time.

Error log:

You are using pip version 19.0.3, however version 19.3.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Thanks in advance,

Try installing pygit2, as explained here.

I followed your link, which took me to the page for installing the two tools on a unix system.  I found a link for installing on macOS, which involved installing libgit2, then pygit2.  The first step worked fine:

brew install libgit2

The second step, for installing pygit2 with:

pip3 install pygit2

leads to an error:

    Installing collected packages: pygit2
    Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Library/Python/3.7'
    Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions.

Python 3.7 is not installed on my system, although Python 2.7 was installed as part of the multi-step process of installing the tools for your product.

Any other guesses on how to install the tools on my system, which is running macOS Catalina 10.15.1?

I get that this is a very new product, and that we're on the bleeding edge, here.  But, this is one of the worst out of the box experiences I've had in 35 years of programming.  We have customers that want to purchase your products, assuming we can integrate our software solution.  First, it would be great to be able to build the sample code from your SDK.

Also, let's not lose track of the license key that has to be re-installed every time I open the newer version of SES.  I've been using the SEGGER Embedded Studio for ARM 4.18 with our nRF52840 DK and Dongles.  It was necessary to install the SEGGER Embedded Studio for ARM 4.20a, since the previous version did not have the Open nRF Connect SDK Project menu item.  I currently have both installed, and likely there's a conflict.  Will one version suffice for both development efforts?

If you have a macOS system, I'd be happy starting over with the installation process if there was an accurate set of steps that would solve these issues.

Thanks, again.

Just on a whim, I tried again to run the "pip3 install --user -r nrf/scripts/requirements.txt" command -- which succeeded!  In the process, it install pygit2.  The third pip3 installation also worked.  That's the good news.

However, after launching SES 4.20a (and acquiring and installing yet another free license), Open nRF Connect SDK Project failed again.  The error list is quite long:

and then:

So, still no luck opening the samples.

Open the command line in <..>/ncs/nrf and type in these commands:

git checkout master

git pull

git checkout v1.1.0

west update

Then delete the build folder and try to build the example again.
