Tools>Options greyed out in SEGGER Embedded studio for ARM

[paul_tanner]

Just downloaded this (5.10d) on MacOS 10.15.7.

(Planning to test with 9160 DK.)

Using getting started assistant

Got as far as the "setup a project in SES" (installed toolchain and cloned nrF connect SDK)

Instructions say "Click Tools > Options and select the nRF Connect tab."

.. but that option is greyed out.

Note: sourcecode_root is still blank.  I got this far by entering it manually on earlier steps.

What have I done wrong?

[paul_tanner]

Yes I have arm_segger_embedded_studio_v510d_macos_x64_nordic

Tools > Options still greyed out.

[paul_tanner]

OK.  Somehow an options window was still in place.

After closing that the Tools>Options opens the intended "Environment Options" one

I was able to complete that.

I have discovered that this "nRF Connect Options" window always comes up when I start SES

It starts with

```

nRF Connect SDK Release:

ZEPHYR_BASE (ncs)

nRF Connect Toolchain Version:

NONE (Use SES settings / environment PATH)

```

Neither of these pulldowns contain any options.

So I'm stuck.

 Thanks for clarifying. 

 In SES - Tools -> Options -> nRF Connect, have you set up the executables as per step 4 in the Getting Started Guide? 

Kind regards,
Øyvind

[paul_tanner]

yes I have.  things got better when I corrected Zephyr Base.

however, I still can't select any boards when trying to open an nRF Connect SDK project.

I checked that the board files are in place in ..zephyr/boards/arm

Evidently some config parameter is not set up.

The Board Name dropdown does not work, nor do the 3 checkboxes below it.
