Segger Embedded Studio: Debug and Release build configurations

[Learner]

I created two build configurations a Debug and a Release in SES IDE.

Build > Build Configurations...

I wanted to select the  DEBUG_OPTIMIZATIONS level for the Debug build configuration and the SPEED_OPTIMIZATIONS for the Release one.

In Project Explorer, select the top Solution then select the 'Debug' build Configuration

Project > Configure nRF Connect Project... > DEBUG_OPTIMIZATIONS > Configure > Save solution (if prompted)

Then in Project Explorer, select the top Solution then select the 'Release' build Configuration

Project > Configure nRF Connect Project... > SIZE_OPTIMIZATIONS > Configure > Save solution (if prompted)

However, when I go back and select the 'Debug' build configuration to view its optimisation setting I find

Project > Configure nRF Connect Project... > SIZE_OPTIMIZATIONS   

NOT DEBUG_OPTIMIZATIONS as expected.

It looks like whichever build configuration is set last overwrites the other one.

Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Thank you.

This seems like a bug in SES, I can report it, I assume you are using v4.52?

In the meantime you can also control this in prj.conf by setting e.g. CONFIG_DEBUG_OPMTIMIZATIONS=y

Thank you Kenneth.

I don't use the command line tools. I am using SES IDE and like any other IDE I used before I should be able to set debug and release configurations within SES Nordic Edition. I tried to get help from Segger but they directed me to Nordic because SES (Nordic Edition) is not supported by Segger. 

Kenneth said:

I don't know how this can be done in SES, but

If you don't know how it can be done maybe you can ask one of your colleagues or even Segger.

I asked this question over six months ago, I was hoping by now someone somewhere would have figured out how to do this within SES. As I said earlier Segger were not willing to help me but if someone from Nordic approached them they might be be more accommodating.

While waiting for a resolution to my ticket I am using two project configuration files prj-debug,conf and prj-release.conf, an extract from the two variants is shown below. My question is this,

Do I need to remove the logging configurations (text in blue below) from the release project file prj-release.conf ?

prj-debug.conf

---------------------

...

### COMPILER OPTIONS ###
#
CONFIG_DEBUG_OPTIMIZATIONS=y

### Logging ####
#
# For the PID 4 hardware we must set CONFIG_SERIAL=n because otherwise the SPI CS/BUSY
# pins will be allocated to UART0 CTS/RTS pins.
CONFIG_SERIAL=n
CONFIG_LOG=y
CONFIG_USE_SEGGER_RTT=y
CONFIG_RTT_CONSOLE=y
#CONFIG_UART_CONSOLE=n
CONFIG_NEWLIB_LIBC=y
CONFIG_NEWLIB_LIBC_FLOAT_PRINTF=y
CONFIG_PRINTK=y

...

prj-release.conf

----------------------

...

### COMPILER OPTIONS ###
#
#CONFIG_CODING_GUIDELINE_CHECK is not set
# CONFIG_NATIVE_APPLICATION is not set
CONFIG_SIZE_OPTIMIZATIONS=y
CONFIG_SPEED_OPTIMIZATIONS=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_OPTIMIZATIONS=n
# CONFIG_NO_OPTIMIZATIONS is not set
CONFIG_COMPILER_OPT=""
# end of Compiler Options

### Logging ####
#
# For the PID 4 hardware we must set CONFIG_SERIAL=n because otherwise the SPI CS/BUSY

CONFIG_SERIAL=n
CONFIG_LOG=y
CONFIG_USE_SEGGER_RTT=y
CONFIG_RTT_CONSOLE=y
#CONFIG_UART_CONSOLE=n
CONFIG_NEWLIB_LIBC=y
CONFIG_NEWLIB_LIBC_FLOAT_PRINTF=y

Kind regards

Migrating is very easy:

That said, the description for SES should be as stated here (seems there are two different ways it can be done in SES if you see the Note also below the first suggestion): https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/gs_modifying.html?highlight=dconf_file#selecting-a-build-type-in-ses

SES_Building_Solution_Log.txt

Thank you Kenneth.

"You can also specify the build type in the Additional CMake Options field in Tools > Options > nRF Connect. However, the changes will only be applied after re-opening the project. Reloading the project is not sufficient."

I am not sure what the difference is between re-opening and re-loading a project.

In SES I did 

Tools > Options > nRF Connect then added -DCONF_FILE=prj_release.conf

File > Open nRF Connect SDK Project... to re-open the project

Then did a new build in a new empty build folder but the .config file is still not being updated with my config that is in prj_release.conf.

For example I set CONFIG_LOG=n in prj_release.conf but in .config in the new build folder I see CONFIG_LOG=y.

Looking closely at the logs when opening the project and creating the solution I can see that it is the content of prj_debug.conf that is merged in the configuration NOT prj_release.conf as expected. This is despite the fact that the cmake.exe command line includes -DCONF_FILE=prj_release.conf.

Hi Kenneth,

Kenneth said:

That said, the description for SES should be as stated here (seems there are two different ways it can be done in SES if you see the Note also below the first suggestion): https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/gs_modifying.html?highlight=dconf_file#selecting-a-build-type-in-ses 

From the link you sent me, it is stated in step 4 Do not select Clean Build Directory.

Why is this the case?

I thought starting with a clean build folder is often if not always good practice.

Please clarify.

Thank you.

Can you please try building from command line using west and/or transition to Visual Studio code? 

Best regards,

Good morning Kenneth,

I appreciate you are trying to get me to migrate to VS Code but unfortunately, the team and management are reluctant to make the switch right now. So, we need to get this sorted as soon as possible. If you cannot solve this problem maybe you can consult with other members in your team.

These are the outstanding questions I would like help with.

If I choose to select the project conf file using the second method as shown below

Tools > Options > nRF Connect > Additional CMake Options -DCONF_FILE=prj_release.conf

File > Open nRF Connect SDK Project... to re-open the project

Can I select to do a 'Clean Build Directory'?

Q3/ 

What is the difference between re-opening and re-loading a project?

Q4/ When I open the project after performing the actions in Q2/ above, I see in SES logs that prj_debug.conf is being merged instead of prj_release.conf as specified in -DCONF_FILE=prj_release.conf. See logs below.

Hi,

I am not sure why the documentation says not to choose clean build directory, unless there are some configurations you have set using menuconfig in SES that you may want to keep. 

> What is the difference between re-opening and re-loading a project?

If you close and open the same project with "clean build directory" not chosen, then this can cause items from the cache/build folder to impact configuration, and that changes in prj.conf. cmakelist.txt is not applied. To ensure the changes are applied then CMake must run, which can be done by either of the following:

- Open the project again with "Open nRF Connect SDK project", make sure to choose "clean build directory".

OR

- Run Cmake with Project > Run CMake.

> When I open the project after performing the actions in Q2/ above, I see in SES logs that prj_debug.conf is being merged instead of prj_release.conf as specified in -DCONF_FILE=prj_release.conf

This is likely because you don't clean the build folder and/or CMake does not run.

If you reload the project with Project > Reload <project name>, then CMake does not run.

Best regards,
Kenneth

Hi Kenneth,

Thank you for your answers.

I am not aware of any configurations I have in SES that I would like to keep.

How do I check whether I have configurations set in SES using menuconfig?

I have tried both with and without selecting the 'Clean Build folder' option and I still see prj_debug.conf instead of prj_release.conf being merged in .config. as reported in my previous post.

Kind regards

Mohamed

[Kenneth]

Have you tried the other option also? 
- Run Cmake with Project > Run CMake. 

Kenneth

[Learner]

Yes, I have but no success still.

I 

In SES I did 

Tools > Options > nRF Connect then added -DCONF_FILE=prj_release.conf

File > Open nRF Connect SDK Project... to re-open the project

Then did a new build in a new empty build folder but the .config file is still not being updated with my config that is in prj_release.conf.

For example I set CONFIG_LOG=n in prj_release.conf but in .config in the new build folder I see CONFIG_LOG=y.

I then ran Cmake, as you suggested, 

Project > Run CMake

But nothing has changed in the .config file, see extract from the log trace below,

Have you tried (at least for testing) to compile your project from command line using west and/or visual studio code? That can at least provide information if the issue is related to SES or not.
