nRF52-DK + PlatformIO + VSCode : Upadte include path

[Pierre-Julien Cazaux]

Hello,

I recently decided to upgrade an Arduino project to you nice and well documented products :) 

I successfully built and run the example provided here and tried to implement my very first function : a time based serial logger. I then rushed into the nRF5_SDK_16.0.0_98a08e2 examples and thought the peripheral>timer was the perfect match.

Unfortunatelly,, includes do not seem to work

#include <stdbool.h> //OK
#include <stdint.h> //OK
#include "nrf.h" //OK

#include "nrf_drv_timer.h" //NOK (even with <>, and file is well here : Users/pierrejuliencazaux/Documents/nRF5_SDK_16.0.0_98a08e2/integration/nrfx/legacy/nrf_drv_timer.h)

#include <bsp.h>          //NOK (even with <>, and file is well here : /Users/pierrejuliencazaux/Documents/nRF5_SDK_16.0.0_98a08e2/components/libraries/bsp/bsp.h)

#include <app_error.h>    //NOK (even with <>, and file is well here : /Users/pierrejuliencazaux/Documents/nRF5_SDK_16.0.0_98a08e2/components/libraries/util/app_error.h)

 

According to platformIO Documentation I tried to add the following to my PlatformIO.ini

build_flags=

    -I/Users/pierrejuliencazaux/Documents/nRF5_SDK_16.0.0_98a08e2/integration/nrfx/legacy/

    -I/Users/pierrejuliencazaux/Documents/nRF5_SDK_16.0.0_98a08e2/components/libraries/

But nothing seems to work. Can you please give me a hint ?

I'm on PlatformIO 4.3.4, VSCode, MacBook Pro retina mid 2012 MacOS 10.15.5 (19F101)

If this can help for troubleshooting, manually adding 

build_flags=
...
-include/Users/pierrejuliencazaux/Documents/nRF5_SDK_16.0.0_98a08e2/integration/nrfx/legacy/nrf_drv_timer.h

Removes the build error on this very #include. unfortunately this do not solve it' inner dependencies and then I ha even more errors. 

This really looks like a missconfuguration su here is mine :

Hi Pierre-Julien, 

PlatformIO is not a Nordic delivery, and as such is not supported by us. 

The main forum for PlatformIO support seems to be this one unless you can justify using their paid system:
https://community.platformio.org/

The Getting started with nRF5 SDK and SES (nRF51 & nRF52 Series)/Setting up your toolchain in the SDK documentation is a good place to start. 

I would also like to suggest the Segger Embedded Studio video tutorial series (7 videos in total), which goes through setting up SES in more detail.

Ok thx, I published more or less this support request on PlatformIO forums, I'll keep this thread in touch.

https://community.platformio.org/t/please-give-me-a-clear-and-simple-include-path/11410/6

BTW, I'd like to update my post title since I made a typo in the word UPDATE. I can't see any option ^^

Best,

Hi Pierre-Julien,

Thanks for sharing the post on PlatformIO forums. From that, it seems PIO doesn’t yet support the nRF5 SDK as a framework option though yet.

I don't think it is possible.
