Segger Embedded Studio for Arm (Nordic Edition) V4.52 | No Linker or Preprocessor Options

[ReneDelgado]

Hello,

Currently we working on a project that uses:

- nRF9160

- Zyphre OS

- Segger Embedded Studio for  Arm (Nordic Edition) V4.52

- SDK v1.2

I saw in others tickets questions about why not all build configuration options appear in UI or SES Nordic edition, unavailable options I'm referring to are Linker, Dependencies and Preprocessor options. The comparations is in the following image SES Nordic Edition vs SES Normal Edition.

SES Nordic Edition only has 5 options in "Code", while SES normal Edition has 14 options including Linker and Preprocessor.

Regarding with the other tickets that mention this issue the only answer referring  by Nordic´s team is redirectioning  to the following link that no talk about the Linker or preprocessor option in the UI.

Then, here my questions:

1) Are Linker, dependencies, and preprocessor options available in the SES Nordic edition user interface?

2) Using Cmakelist.txt is the unique way to include headers in SES Nordic Edition?

3) What is the simplest way to include pre-processor directives in an SES Nordic Edition project?

Thanks,

René D.

1. Yes, but the Zephyr projects do not have these options. If you open an nRF5 SDK example in the SES Nordic edition you should be able to see these options.

2. Due to changes in Zephyr, this changed the include paths for drivers and other components. (https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf/pull/1811). Here's a list fo the paths that changed.

3. The easiest way to add directives to your project in the SES Nordic Edition is to go to the Project dropdown menu on the top, choose Configure the nRF Connect SDK Project, choose menuconfig, and there you can add the various modules and directives you'd like for your project.

Best regards,

Simon
