Couldn't import Assest tracker Application

[ChandraSR K]

I could successfully installed development environment.

Could import Blinky application and could successfully build.

But couldn't import asset tracking application using below settings : File → Open nRF Connect SDK Project…

MakeLists.txt  : D:/ProgramData/nordic/sourcecode_root/ncs/nrf/applications/asset_tracker/CMakeLists.txt

Board Directory : D:/ProgramData/nordic/sourcecode_root/ncs/nrf/boards/arm/thingy91_nrf9160

Board Name : thingy91_nrf9160

Build Directory : D:/ProgramData/nordic/sourcecode_root/ncs/nrf/applications/asset_tracker/build_thingy91_nrf9160

Got below error:

Can any one help to resolve this issue.

moreover i couldn't find board type : ncs/zephyr/boards/arm/nrf9160_pca10090? so i selected different board.

Hi.

Since you were trying to use nrf9160_pca10090 as board name I assume you're working with a nRF9160 DK. This was the board name of the DK in earlier releases, and you should instead use nrf9160dk_nrf9160ns as board name now. It's important to remember "ns" at the end of the board name if you're building in the non-secure domain (as is the case with the Asset Tracker application). If you're interested to read more about about secure vs non-secure you can check out this link.

From your error it seems like something is wrong with the toolchain. Did you use nRF Connect Toolchain Manager to install the toolchain? If not, I would recommend using it, as it makes the whole process much simpler. 

One thing you can check is if your environment variables are set correctly. By that I mean ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT, GNUARMEMB_TOOLCHAIN_PATH and ZEPHYR_BASE. If you're unsure how to do this you can follow this guide.

Best regards,

I am trying to install nRF Connect SDK v1.3.0 using nRF Connect v3.4.2 - ToolChain Manager on windows 7 PC.

only tool chain is getting installed but not sources, this makes me to proceed with manual installatio.

The documnetation given in above are for 1.2 version and i am using 1.3. are there any known issues with 1.3.

[Marte Myrvold]

Setting the environment variables should be the same in v1.2.0 as in v1.3.0, so you should be able to do so using the guide I linked. Are you still getting errors with the manual installation?

If the SDK didn't get installed when using Toolchain Manager you could try to update the SDK from there and see if that works.

Best regards,

Marte

Hi Thanks for the quick response and suggestion.

it is not throwing any warning or error during installation.

i tried following 2 options and not succeded.

     1. Uninstall and reinstall

     2. Update SDK

However  clicked "open bash" and  got below values for the said variables. for  SDK v1.30, these are set automatically. but couldnot find zephyr in the folder D:/ProgramData/nordic/ncs/v1.3.0/

chandra@User-PC MINGW64 /d/ProgramData/nordic/ncs/v1.3.0
$ echo $ZEPHYR_BASE  $ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT  $GNUARMEMB_TOOLCHAIN_PATH
D:/ProgramData/nordic/ncs/v1.3.0/zephyr     gnuarmemb     /opt

for V1.3.0 open IDE buttion also not appearing.

is there any log file where in i can look into resolve this issue.

Thanks

Hi.

Does your zephyr folder exist elsewhere, or is it nowhere to be found? Have you tried updating the toolchain as well as the SDK in Toolchain Manager?

We have already reported the problem with the "Open IDE" button missing to our developers, as someone else has had the problem before, and it's being worked on. In the meantime you can open SES by going to \ncs\v1.3.0\toolchain\segger_embedded_studio\bin and open emStudio. However, you still need the zephyr folder in order for anything to work.

Best regards,

Hi

zephyr folder for SDK v1.30 supposed to be in \ncs\v1.3.0. But couldn't find it there.

\ncs\v1.3.0 contains just folder toolchain and i could open emStudio app.

Because I am not succesfful in SDK v1.30, so itried SDK v1.2.0 and I could succeed.

SDK v1.2.0 installs RTOS as well @ \ncs\v1.2.0

Sample application Blinky compiles as well.

Thanks

Hi

Great to hear that you managed to compile a sample with v1.2.0!

There should be several folders in \ncs\v1.3.0, and if only the toolchain folder is there then something went wrong with the installation of the SDK. I can't think of any other solutions than to remove the installation of v1.3.0 in Toolchain Manager, or delete the folder itself, and reinstalling it, or trying to update the SDK, but as you said, you have already tried that.

Best regards,

Marte

I checked in internet and found that installing windows update Windows6.1-KB2533623-x64.exe for windows 7 shall address this issue.

I just installed and re-installed nrfconnectsetup342ia32.exe. Now I could see Open IDE also against V1.3.0.
