Is the Thread and Zigby SDK v4.1.0 complete?

[GarmTerje]

I am evaluating the Thread network. So far, I have successfully tested the network by using 6xPCA10056 and 1xPCA10100.
The 7 boards have been used with a RPi to prove both boarder-router, TTM monitor, sniffer and MQTT sensor functionality by using pre-compiled firmware.
To start further work, I need to customize the software.

I installed the SES and opened the simplest (blinky) solution from the nRF5_SDK_for_Thread_and_Zigbee_v4.1.0_32ce5f8.
Compiling failed as the "compiler_abstraction.h" could not be found.

I downloaded the nRF5_SDK_17.0.2_d674dde, opened the same solution there and ran a successful compilation.

A search shows that the file "compiler_abstraction.h" does not exist in the nRF5_SDK_for_Thread_and_Zigbee_v4.1.0_32ce5f8.

However, it exists in both nRF5_SDK_for_Thread_and_Zigbee_v1.0.0 and nRF5_SDK_for_Thread_and_Zigbee_v3.2.0_9fade31 and
I am able to complile the blinky examples in these older SDKs.

Question:

Is the nRF5_SDK_for_Thread_and_Zigbee_v4.1.0_32ce5f8 incomplete?

Hi

What version of SES are you using when you're seeing this issue? Please note that according to the Getting Started section in the documentation you need at least version 4.12 or newer of Segger Embedded Studios when using v4.1.0 of the Thread and Zigbee SDK. The SDK is indeed complete.

Best regards,

Simon

The very latest, release 5.42 installed today.

But since the missing file is not to be found in SDK v4.1.0 but in all the other SDK's, I assumed that there is something missing in the SDK.

The funny thing is that the file "compiler_abstractions.h" is referred by 36 files in the 4.0.1 SDK while the file is not to be found the the SDK. However, the file is present in all older SDKs. That is the reason for my question.

Started to dig into the SDKs. The older Thread/Zigby SDKs contains a folder called "modules" which is not present in the latest.
Since it is a while since I downloaded the v4.1.0, I got supicious. I repeated the download and the "modules" folder appeared.

Obviously, something did go wrong in the first download although no problems occurred during all tests. All the pre-compiled files I have used so far is present and undamaged.

Now, I can open and build solution.

OK, case solved.
