Broken Tool Chain - After OS Upgrade

[RodWatt]

Hi,

I am unable to build code. My Mac has just been updated to Catalina, not sure if that's caused the issue.

I am trying to build the standard "blinky" code but am getting errors.

It looked as though something was broken, so I recreated my ncs directory as below.

cd ~

mkdir ncs && cd ncs

west init -m https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf --mr v1.3.0

west update

west zephyr-export

pip3 install -r zephyr/scripts/requirements.txt
pip3 install -r nrf/scripts/requirements.txt
pip3 install -r bootloader/mcuboot/scripts/requirements.txt

Still getting the same error.

Would appreciate your thoughts

Regards,

Rod

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

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.

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