Having Trouble getting the nRF-Connected SDK running

[Rudolph Aschmoneit]

Hello everyone,

I getting stocked now for 1,5 days to get the nRF-Connected SDK running

I am using macOSCatalina 10.15.7

segger 5.20

Nordic SDK Tag v1.4.0

using python 3.9.0 via pyenv (before tried it without pyenv, also doesn't working)

I was going through the getting Started Assistent several times, I also deinstalled all things mentioned in the 1. install the toolchain / 2. clone the nrf Connected SDK and installed them again, cause first i thougth there are some python Issues. I also tried to get run with the toolchain manager, but this also wasn't working. I wasn't able to open a nrf Connected SDK Project in Segger at anytime. At the moment the Error which occur when I try to do this is (only Toolchain via Getting Started Assistent is installed (/opt/gnuarmemb), I have uninstalled the toolchain from toolchain manager, cause of the experimental notice, and I was only triyng it, after the getting Started Assistent Worklflow fails):

include could not find load file:

/Users/RudolphAschmoneit/Documents/Arbeit/VRaktion/nordic/nRF_Connect_SDK/ncs/zephyr/cmake/toolchain//generic.cmake it seem like ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT is set to an empty string. Also I am a bit familiar with cmake, I never used Zephyr and west before, I am not sure if it is a good and not to time consuming idea to try to manually debug/fix the cmake, cause it looks like an internal dependencies error.

But maybe this errorlogs help you to help me?
Or would you recommend to clean everything up and reinstall it in an clean python enverionment using pipx or pipenv or both? (I am not very familliar with this, but it seems like a good concept for me), but i am also wondering, cause installing ninja via homebrew always installs python 3.9 via homebrew, and i would prefer to only use pyenv managed versions.
So when I do the reinstall any suggestions on how to clean up best before?

I am thankful for any help, cause at the moment I am a little bit frustrated.

so Thank you in Advance!

Greetings Rudolph

After I got stuck here, I tried to get zephyr stand alone running, so the error I have mentioned above when building in the command line was in my opinion while there was no ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT set, in the getting started with zephyr this is explained a bit more in depth, but maybe someone could explain like Nordic is handling this, or is this handeld by segger, cause segger gets the path to the toolchain,

the other error I got, when using segger is obviously related to an buf in cmake 3.19/3.19.1 as mentioned here:
https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/30272/commits/86bc6e1ae4c034f23ba6606c3aaf190dcb6c0751

I will try this workaround and/or downgrade cmake and will try get nRF_Connected_SDK running again.

[Rudolph Aschmoneit]

Ok, I doesn't downgrade cmake, but I implemented the Workaround mentioned here:

https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/30272/commits/86bc6e1ae4c034f23ba6606c3aaf190dcb6c0751

Now I can build zephyr and also nRF_Connect_SDK Applications via Toolchain with this Commands:

source <NCS root folder>/zephyr/zephyr-env.sh

cd <NCS root folder>/nrf/applications/asset tracker

west build -b nrf9160dk_nrf9160ns -d build

west flash

Segger is still not working because of Kconfig but I haven't time to get deeper in to this and building via Commandline is absolutly fine for me. So let's hope that cmake will fix there error soon.

Hello, Rudolph!

Good to hear that you are managing to build now. We are aware that there is a bug in the newest version of CMake and it is being worked on!

As for building in SES, could you try the following:
1. Close SES
2. Call the following command from terminal: rm -r ~/Library/Caches/zephyr
3. Reopen SES and open your desired NCS project with a "Clean Build Folder"

Does that help?

Best regards,
Carl Richard

Hy, thanks for your reply,

I tried the solution you mentioned before, but I tried it now another time:

I get the following Error:

error: cmake failed
create_nordic_project.py failed (1)

So Cmake is unable to find Ninja.

I double checked the path of Ninja in the SES Tools/Options/nRF Connect Section,

I get a similar Error when I build from Commandline too, when I forget to delete the old build folder before, I think that have something to do with the Cmake Cache Stuff ?

But I also have double checked if the build folder is deleted before opening SES. Are there Nordic specific Caches I also have to delete before? But in my understanding anything temporary goes to the build folder, am I right?

Thank you in Advance.

Many Greetings

Hi again!

Did you call "source zephyr-env.sh" again aswell? There shouldn't be any more temporary outside the build folder (except the zephyr cache under Library/Caches, but it shouldn't be necessary to delete that often). 

Do you open SES from the terminal or with the app icon? If the latter, could you try to open it from the terminal, after calling "source zephyr-env.sh" first?

Best regards,
Carl Richard

Hey, yes I Did call the source zephyr-env.sh but I always used the icon, and there is the problem, it is not the same terminal like this where the source zephyr-env.sh happend, opening the Segger Studio from the same terminal via "open -a" works. Thanks a lot for your help and this Tip! So In my Opinion this thread could be closed or marked as resolved.
