SEGGER Embedded Studio: confusing red-white error/warning signs

Opening a project in SEGGER Embedded Studio I have annoying "no entry signs" (white minus sign in a red circle) on the left side various items in a project, whereas most of others items have positive green "check signs". And this problem takes place only when the project is located not inside SDK as one of the samples, and it's located separately somewhere else in a system. Also, there's no such an effect on another system, which is about the same virtual machine (Kubuntu 20.04).


An error case, when I copied a sample to a separate directory and then I opened the project:

    


A positive case, when I opened a sample inside SDK:

    


Does someone have an idea of why it's so? It's interesting that building and running projects work properly (it seems so) in both cases without any obvious differences. But I don't understand what those red-white stop signs mean.

  • Hi.

     

    And this problem takes place only when the project is located not inside SDK as one of the samples, and it's located separately somewhere else in a system. Also, there's no such an effect on another system, which is about the same virtual machine (Kubuntu 20.04).

     Do you mean that you have two more-or-less identical VMs, and you only see the error symbols on one of them?

    What version of SES are you using?

    I have not been able to reproduce your problem on my (Windows) computer.

    Best regards,

  • Thanks for your response, Didrik!

    SEGGER Embedded Studio versions are the same for both systems:
    SEGGER Embedded Studio for ARM
    Release 4.52  Build 2020033100.41808
    Linux x64

    Systems are not absolutely the same. The first one, which is without the error, I used for experiments when I installed tools for developing. The second one, which is with the error, I used to install everything in the right way, make it more clear.


    I don't know how to even look at this warning/error, because IDE showed nothing except this red-white sign.

    It's sometimes the same for warnings for a code editor, IDE didn't show anything, when I pointed a mouse to this sign.
