trying to usenRF Connect SDK for the first time.

Could be because of recent upgrades to MacOS.

(I have used gcc with nRF SDKs before)

Thx Einar,

Where should .zephyrrc be located?  Tried it in my home directory to no effect.

Also, working from nRF Connect v3.6.0, I do not see any instructions for building from the command line.  This is what I would usually want to do but have been following "Getting Started Assistant".

Yes, it should be in your home directory.

To build from the command line you navigate to the nRF Connect SDK folder. Then you first need to source zephyr/zephyr-env.sh:

source zephyr/zephyr-env.sh

After that, navigate to the project you want to build, e.g. at_client:

cd nrf/samples/nrf9160/at_client

and then build with west like this:

west build -b nrf9160dk_nrf9160ns --pristine

Does that work? If not, what error do you get?

I should also note that the Toolchain Manager has experimental support for macOS now, and using that you will get a sandboxed toolchain automatically and would not have to to through this manual setup.

[paul_tanner]

Thx for that.  That method builds OK (i.e. I don't see any errors) and generates the .hex file.

Still can't build with SES (see error below).

I have not tried to reinstall the toolchain as yet.  Do you think that would fix this error

```

create_nordic_project.py failed (1). 

```

?  which looks more like a file protection problem.

Thx.

Hi,

I see. I just updated to Big Sur an SES (Nordic) 5.10d and now I get the same error as you see. I have not found an explanation for this or workaround yet, though.

Hi,

Update on this. In my case the issue was that I had not updated the paths correctly (after moving things around). Perhaps you did the same, or forgot to set zephyr and toolchain base in the first place?

Before opening a NCS project you need to start SES, then go to Tools -> Options ... and select nRF Connect. Then you need to set the two Directories correctly. In my case it is like this, but you need to adjust it for your setup:

After that, you should be able to open a NCS project from File -> Open nRF Connect SDK Project...
