Hi,

I am sorry for the delay.

The error message indicates that you have not installed make, or that it is installed but not found by the build script.

The readme suggests getting make from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm. (Although you are free to choose version and implementation of make as you would like.)

In order for make to be found by the build script, you need to put the install path of make in the PATH system environment variable. This is how to do that in Windows 10:

From control panel, select System, then "Advanced system settings". That should give you the "System Properties" window. Find the "Advanced" tab:

Click the "Environment Variables..." button. This gives you the "Environment Variables" window. There are two lists there. The top one is for your user only, and any settings there will affect your user, but not any other user on the same computer, if any. The bottom one is "System variables", which is system wide for all users. Which one to use depend on whether you want to set this up only for yourself, or if you want it set up for other users of the computer as well.

Find the "PATH" entry in the list, select it, and click the "Edit...'" button below the list. You should then get an "Edit environment  variable" window.

To add an entry, click the "New" button on the top right. You can then enter a new line in the list. You need to put in the file path for where the installed make.exe is to be found. On my computer, that path is "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin", but it depends on what installation of make you are using.

Hi,

I suspect the error message might be problems with running the rm command. What output do you get from the following command?

rm --version

The hex file is built for the Thingy:52, not for the nRF52832 DK. You should not expect the firmware to work on the DK. This is because buttons, LEDs and other peripherals are connected at different GPIO pins or not existing at all on the DK. Also, for instance clock sources may differ. In general, different boards require different configuration of the project. You should test the project on a Thingy:52.

Hi,

Please find output of "rm --version" as follows:

Hi,

This means that you do not have the command line program "rm" installed on your computer, or it is installed but the file path for the rm executable (rm.exe) is not in the PATH environment variable.

You can get rm for instance by installing Minimalist GNU for Windows (MinGW).

Hi,

I have already installed MinGW still not recognized "rm --version", so I have set it in the PATH environment variable and execute again "rm --version". Please find below attached result -

Hi,

With that now in order, you should be able to go back to building the project, with "make -j"?
