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
Compiling file: uECC.c
Creating library: ../../nrf52nf_armgcc/armgcc/micro_ecc_lib_nrf52.a

Done

Hi,

Could you type the following and verify that the path to the GNU ARM toolchain is set correctly:

arm-none-eabi-gcc --version

It will return the version of the compiler if the executable is found.

Could you also try to remove any whitespaces from your path and replace it with for example an underscore? Nordic Thingy52\.. -> Nordic_Thingy52\..

regards
Jared

Hi,

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