SEGGER nRF Connect Sample

[jseidel]

Hello together, 

I am trying to work with the SEGGER software and would like to test it with a Sample from the nRF Connect SDK.

I've installed it over the Toolchain application and I am using the nRF9160 board.

When I choose an sample I get an error notification every time.

At example by choosing the 'MQTT' sample I get the error:

I am not very experienced and don't know what to do. 
Would be thankful for every suggestion. 

With best regards,

Hi.

Did you use the Toolchain Manager for the installation? If so, you have to open it from the Toolchain Manager by clicking "Open IDE". Launching it from there will correctly set up the environment.

Best regards,

Yes exactly I've installed it about the Toolchain Manager and opened it there as well, but I am still having the problem. 

Do you have any other suggestions what the problem might be?

[Marte Myrvold]

Did you remember to install the nRF Command Line Tools? You can find it here.

Can you try to update the toolchain through Toolchain Manager?

You can check if you have west installed by using

west --version

 

in a terminal. It should give you something like "West version: v0.7.3" if it is installed. If you don't have west installed and none of the suggestions above solved your problem, you can install west with

pip3 install west

Best regards,

Marte

Yeah you were right, it wasn't installed. I installed it afterwards and now he doesn't shows this error notification, but instead it shows:

Do you maybe know what the problem here is?

It seems like you are trying to build the application as Secure, which is not possible since bsdlib requires the application to be built as Non-Secure. (You can read more about Secure vs Non-Secure here)

When you open a nRF Connect SDK Project in SES which are to be built as Non-Secure, you must have "ns" at the end of the board name, as shown below.

I've tried that as well and when I am choosing the board with 'ns' I am getting the following notification:

Maybe for you helpful as well, these are my setting when I try to start the sample:

Thanks and best regards

It seems like you are missing the yaml module. Could you try using the following command inside the zephyr directory:

pip3 install -r scripts\requirements.txt

If this does not work, could you instead try

pip3 install pyyaml

Can you check if your Zephyr Base and GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain Directory is correct? Go to Tools > Options > nRF Connect in SES and look under Directories. Does this correspond with where they are located on your computer?

Best regards,

Marte

The first command didn't worked but the second one did. 

The file path is looking correct to me. 

This is what I see:

Can you see any mistake or have any other suggestion?

Thanks and best regards

[Marte Myrvold]

It looks correct to me. Could you try to delete the build folder for your project, build_nrf9160dk_nrf9160ns (and build_nrf9160dk_nrf9160 if you have that as well), and then open the project again and build it?

[jseidel]

Unfortunately this just changed the error notification.

For my project I just want to check if I can do a simple MQTT connection. Are there any other options to do that than using the SES?

[Marte Myrvold]

Yes, you can build it using the command line by following this guide. I would also recommend you take a look here for how to get started with the nRF Connect SDK.
