thing52 SDK compiling with GCC in Ubuntu

[Frankie211]

I am trying to compile firmware with GCC in ubuntu. The GNU directory is in C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU Tools ARM Embedded\4.9 2015q3. I changed Makefile.posix to make sure that the GNU_INSTALL_ROOT variable points to my GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors directory. But I still got compiling error. Any help is appreciated.

 

d:\Nordic Thingy52\Nordic-Thingy52-FW-master\project\pca20020_s132\armgcc>make -j
make: *** No rule to make target `_build/Nordic', needed by `nrf52832_xxaa_s132'. Stop.

Hi,

Did you run the setup_sdk.sh file in the repo?

I have the same error message and solved it.

My error message:

user@linux7:/sdk/external/micro-ecc/nrf52hf_keil/armgcc$ make
make: /usr/local/gcc-arm-none-eabi-7-2018-q2-update/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc: Command not found
Cannot find: '/usr/local/gcc-arm-none-eabi-7-2018-q2-update/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc'.
Please set values in: "/home/user/Downloads/software/nRF5_SDK/nRF5_SDK_16.0.0_98a08e2/components/toolchain/gcc/Makefile.posix"
according to the actual configuration of your system.
../../../../components/toolchain/gcc/Makefile.common:129: *** Cannot continue. Stop.

Make a backup:

cp -p /home/user/Downloads/software/nRF5_SDK/nRF5_SDK_16.0.0_98a08e2/components/toolchain/gcc/Makefile.posix /home/user/Downloads/software/nRF5_SDK/nRF5_SDK_16.0.0_98a08e2/components/toolchain/gcc/Makefile.posix.backup

Take a look at the file:

cat /home/user/Downloads/software/nRF5_SDK/nRF5_SDK_16.0.0_98a08e2/components/toolchain/gcc/Makefile.posix
GNU_INSTALL_ROOT ?= /usr/local/gcc-arm-none-eabi-7-2018-q2-update/bin/
GNU_VERSION ?= 7.3.1
GNU_PREFIX ?= arm-none-eabi

Checked the version (thanks Jared):

arm-none-eabi-gcc --version
arm-none-eabi-gcc (15:6.3.1+svn253039-1build1) 6.3.1 20170620

Checked location of executable:

which arm-none-eabi-gcc
/usr/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc

Update Makefile.posix:

cat /home/user/Downloads/software/nRF5_SDK/nRF5_SDK_16.0.0_98a08e2/components/toolchain/gcc/Makefile.posix
GNU_INSTALL_ROOT ?= /usr/bin/
GNU_VERSION ?= 6.3.1
GNU_PREFIX ?= arm-none-eabi

Make:

user@linux7:/sdk/external/micro-ecc/nrf52nf_armgcc/armgcc$ make
mkdir _build
cd _build && mkdir micro_ecc_lib
