SES IDE buggy, development with nrf91 and nrf52

[Hamza_HK]

Hi, 

I have been working on setting up the environment for development of nrf52840 and nrf9160 the past three days. I have nRF9160 dk which comes with nrf52840. 
I have been struggling with Segger studio arm v4.52 nordic edition as it is very buggy and keeps failing (indexer failing every time). 
I am not sure how to proceed forward because I have tried to google and solve most of the issues faced but these that i mentioned are difficult to.
Any suggestions on how to proceed forward? Do you recommend to change IDE? Are there Segger Studio nordic edition for different version? Maybe V4.52c? 

I have looked over visual studios but it is mostly regarding nrf52 development, is it possible to debug and code for nrf91 using visual studios? 

I am using MacOS v 10.15.1 Catalina 


I would appreciate all help! 

Best Regards,
Hamza

Sorry I said wrong. I followed the Getting Started Assistant. I have done everything correctly. The issue seems to be with SEGGER v4.52 nordic edition for MacOS. I don't get the same errors using the SEGGER IDE V4.52C for MacOS.

No, this is correct as the official Segger IDE v4.52C is not supported/built for NCS. In SES - Nordic Edition you have several Nordic specific features e.g. the nRF Connect tab under Tools -> Options. Have you configured this correctly as described in the last step of the Getting Started Assistant?

If you are not able to use the IDE (SES - Nordic Edition), then I suggest building using West in the command line. If you have set up everything correct, you can open a terminal in macOS. Navigate to your asset tracker application:

source <NCS root folder>/zephyr/zephyr-env.sh

cd <NCS root folder>/nrf/applications/asset tracker

west build -b nrf9160dk_nrf9160ns -d build
