NRF9160 Serial LTE Modem does not compile

[Gwen Stouthuysen]

I'm trying to compile the serial LTE modem to trial the functionality.

The version as set by the import examples program in SES does not compile:

The error: mkdir(modules/mcuboot/boot/bootutil/zephyr/CMakeFiles/..__bootloader__mcuboot__boot__bootutil__zephyr.dir/C_/Users/gstouthu/ncs/v1.5.0-rc1/bootloader/mcuboot/boot/bootutil): No such file or directory

I tried 1.5.0 & 1.5.0-RC1

I checked other examples, they compile.

Hello, 

I assume you are using the Toolchain Manager. Can you please tell me how you are opening the project? Have you tried building the project from command line? This can be done by opening either Bash or Command prompt from the dropdown menu in Toolchain Manager. 

Kind regards,
Øyvind

I tried the command "west build", which resulted in a claim that the west version was too old (0.8.0)

west update resulted in this error:

I had no errors when upgrading to 1.5.0 through the toolchain manager

NCS v1.5.0 needs west v0.9.0. That said the Toolchain Manager version of NCS v1.5.0 includes both Python 3.7 and west 0.9.0. Are you using a manually installed version of NCS?

Can you please elaborate on your setup?

[Gwen Stouthuysen]

Could it be I'm not the local admin?

Should I start the toolchain manager as local admin?

[Øyvind]

No, this should not be an issue, however, VPN and Virus protection might have an impact when installing NCS in Toolchain Manager. Is this a corporate computer or a private computer?

What version of the Toolchain Manager are you using? And to verify, are you opening SES from the "Open IDE" button in Toolchain Manager?

[Gwen Stouthuysen]

It is a corporate computer.

I'm running VPN at the same moment, will try without, but have no control over Virus protection.

The Toolchain manager is managed by nRF Connect, actually at version v0.9.1

I'm using the open IDE button, but get claims on the license of SES.

I'm trying to reinstall the full package (first issue a remove)

That might be the issue, as we have seen this blocking the server where Toolchain Manager downloads from. Please try without.

You are using the same version as me, so that should not give you these issues.  

[Gwen Stouthuysen]

I removed the installation, and reinstalled directly on the C drive (no virtual config with OneDrive that manages the MyDocuments folders)

Now the build is successful.

Thanks for helping me out.

ps: how do I upgrade to 1.5.0 on Linux (Ubuntu)?

It is stuck in 1.4.99.

[Øyvind]

Glad to hear that it works now!

I would recommend looking at the "Updating the repositories". If you have any further questions, please add a new ticket to DevZone, as this question is out of scope from the original question.

Kind regards,
