How to get a free license for SEGGER EMBEDDED STUIDO

[Di-sheng]

Hi There,

I now have 4pcs PCA10056 and 4pcs PCA10059 for the development of our BT Mesh products by nrf52840 of Nirdoc. I have completed the installation of the tool chain, but my Segger Embedded Stuido cannot display the header file because I have not applied for a valid license. The website of Nordic says that an unlimited free license Segger Embedded Stuido can be used to develop Nordic products.

What can I do to get my free license for Segger embedded stuido?

Thanks,

Dison

The only difference the licence makes is that you don't get a pop-up reminding you that you're in Evaluation mode - it should have no effect on the ability to display header files!

Hi Awneil

I have did the license application 2 times.  I just completed a license installing and open a example of Mesh without building (if a project be building ,the .h files will come ----------is it right? ----- if some project do not building success, how I can see those .h files?). The "dependencies in folder" item have been selected, but the .h files do not come .

I think I have  get a license  on the top line showed. Would you like tell me what wrong I did.

Thanks,

You didn't mention that.

I don't know what you mean by, "the .h files will come"?

They are just files;  they are there on your disk - you can locate and open them just like any other files.

Hi Awneil

Please see the 2 picture which is same project.

PIC_A:  The project be open without building. Under every " .c" files, there is not  "dependencies folder" that the header files save in it, although the "Dependencies in folder" label is selected.

PIC_B: It is the same project which just be built. The   "dependencies folder"  come under every ".c" files.   ".h' files are in the  "dependencies folder" .

It is right?  or not .

I want the  "dependencies folder" come all time whether the project is built or not.

What can I do?

Thanks

Yes - the dependencies are generated as part of the build process.

This is a common feature of many IDEs - not specific to Nordic or Segger.

The SES browsing facilities should still work without building the project.

It sounds like you should probably spend some time with some simpler projects to gain familiarity with the products & tools ?

Hi Awneil

The building process can  generate the dependencies is not my question. My question is:

Why the example project do not include the .h files , Is there any benefit here? How I can open the .h files without  building (which mean there is not dependencies link be showed in project) in Segger Embedded Studio ? Although I can  find the .h files by window system.

The other IDE tools, all of the .H files and .c files can showed in project, even some .h files be for  common, if any file include a .h file , it will be show the .h files or link in the project. Would you tell me how I can do same thing in Segger Embedded Studio.

For the Segger Embedded Studio, I am beginning, Thanks for your patience.

Thanks,

Why would they? 

What would be the advantage of that?

It just adds another thing to be maintained, to little advantage.

As I said, The SES browsing facilities should still work without building the project - you can right-click a header in the source to open it.

They can be - but they usually aren't.

There is no need - they can easily be accessed other ways.

You could add them all to your SES project if you wanted.

Maybe try it - see how long it takes to become tedious, and to realise why people don't do it...?
