Broken Tool Chain - After OS Upgrade

Replying to myself — what was missing was a "setenv ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT gnuarmemb" in my ~/.cshrc.

I had exactly the same problems as Rod did (broken toolchain manager, installed manually, same cmake error). The error seems to indicate that cmake doesn't "know" about the specific toolchain being used (note the double slash in "ncs/zephyr/cmake/toolchain//generic.cmake").

I did add GNUARMEMB_TOOLCHAIN_PATH to my environment, but that didn't change anything.

Hi Simon,

I have compared my PATH on the two terminals and have updated the following

GNUARMEMB_TOOLCHAIN_PATH=/opt/nordic/ncs/v1.3.1/toolchain

So, all working now!

The Toolchain manager has made it a lot easier.

Thanks for your help

Rod

Hi Simon,

I have realised that I can run this nrfprog command from another terminal, outwith the terminal within the tool. That would suggest that there is something broken in my "PATH". Some of it works with the tool, others work from a separate terminal. I will try a consolidate these.

Do as explained in the NCS tutorial:

"...make sure you have installed the nRF Command Line tools. This includes the nrfjprog executable, which is required to program the Nordic chips."

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simon,

Sorry, I hadn't noticed the Open terminal option within the tool, I tried that and managed to get it to build by running the following.

rm -R  build
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -GNinja -DBOARD=nrf52833dk_nrf52833 -DCONF_FILE="prj.conf"  ..
ninja

it fails when I try and flash using

nrfjprog --program zephyr.hex -f nrf52 --sectorerase -r --verify

I get this

zsh: command not found: nrfjprog

Hi Simon,

I was thinking about using this, however, I'm using a Mac and there is a warning at the top of the tool, "The MacOS support is experimental...."

I tried the top one, "NRF Connect SDK" and this fails with an error, it's trying to copy something to itself seemingly.

I have selected nRF Connect SDK v1.3.1 and have selected "Update SDK" and "Update toolchain". Again, they both complained about copying over itself; It wasn't clear if it finished or bombed out.

Just to check, I rebooted and tried to compile again but am seeing the same error.

Could you try to install NCS using the Toolchain Manager, it simplifes everything and requires only a button click. If you would rather like to install it manually, please tell me and I will look into the problems you're getting.

Best regards,

Simon
