Build nrf project using Cmd

[shruti mishra]

Hi ,

I am working on nrf based project . I m trying to build my project using Cmd  . I followed the steps given in link -

https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/nrf-connect-sdk-guides/b/getting-started/posts/ncs-tutorial---temporary#h155sjwm56iy71nftthh5gikrw9b2thl

But when i trying to build project using cmd instead of bash with following command - C:\project_folder_path\v1.2.0\toolchain\opt\bin\Scripts\west.exe build -b nrf910

i encountered the following error - ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'west'

i could not able to build my project . Will you please suggest the steps for building project in cmd . 

Best Regards,

Shruti Mishra

Hi.

Based on the path you used, I assume you installed NCS using the Toolchain Manager?

Did you open CMD from the Toolchain Manager?

If you did, it should work without any problems, and you should not need to provide the full path to the executible, 'west build -b <board name>' should work.

Finally, the board name you wrote is wrong, for the nRF91DK, you should use "nrf9160_pca10090ns", though I assume this is just a typo in your ticket, and not related to the issue.

Best regards,

Didrik

Hi Didrik , 

I didn't open the cmd not from toolchain manager , i opened cmd.exe there i was trying to build my project . i tried to open cmd through toolchain  -

1 .open my test project

2. then i have given command  -west build -b "nrf9160_pca10090ns"

but still following error came - 

Please let me know which configuration i am missing

Hi ,

I replaced it ,

That is some progress at least.

That file, and include directory, should have been added automatically by the build system.

In your build/zephyr folder, there should be a file called '.config'. Can you send it to me?

Hi ,

i need to set coverity Which compiler shall i use ?

Also without opening toolchain is it possible to build the project through the cmd 

Please tell me ?

[Didrik Rokhaug]

Are you using NCS v1.3.0, or v1.2.0?
Because you seem to be using code from v1.3.0, but want to use the toolchain from v1.2.0. Those are not compatible.

As you have now gotten your code to NCS v1.3.0, and that is the newest verions, I rocommend you use NCS v1.3.0.

I am not familiar with coverity, but the compiler used is v1.3.0/toolchain/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe.

 I guess you mean if you can build NCS from a cmd window not opened from the Toolchain Manager, when NCS is installed from the Toolchain Manager?

Then the answer is no, there is no simple way of doing that.
