New to NCS 1.5.0, cmake failed,create_nordic_project.py failed

[daoms]

I'm new to NCS, and playing it with nrf5340 pdk kit.

My problem is ,I can't play any projects, all of them go to the same error: cmake failed,create_nordic_project.py failed

I'm not familiar with CMAKE thing, that makes me hard to understand how to make the NCS,it is totally different from nRF52 DK.

Any help to let me play hello_world, thanks.

Hello, 

I'm not able to reproduce this issue. Have you changed anything in the project? 

We have seen that long paths and spaces in path can cause issues. Can you please move the NCS install to e.g. C:\NCS\v1.5.0 ?

Kind regards,
Øyvind

path moved, problem is the same.

The NCS is powerful, surely, but it seems to think more about the cross-platform thing, while less-friendly to most Windows users.

The architecture of the nRF5340 is more advanced compared to nRF52, and thus we have introduced the nRF Connect SDK which is based on the Zephyr OS in order to handle all features. Please read the Working with nRF53 series chapter in our NCS documentation, and the nRF5340 documentation.

NCS is designed to work with all OS, that is true, however, can you please elaborate on what you find less Windows friendly? I am currently working on a Windows machine without any issues.

Now I just reinstall the latest 1.5.1-rc1,I still failed to create any project.

 As stated in our NCS documentation, "unless you are familiar with the development process, you should always work with a specific release of the nRF Connect SDK.". In this case you should work on NCS tag v1.5.0, which is latest and stable release of NCS. This way we can ensure that find what the root cause of your issue is, which is difficult if you change version to a release candidate.

If you find working with the nRF5340 and nRF Connect SDK difficult, then I would encourage you to try our nRF52 series and the nRF5 SDK. 

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Finally, I reinstalled 1.5.0,somehow,the creation works.

But in SES, I fails to build the project:core_cm33.h: No such file or directory

Sorry for that, It is  the first time to play SES.

How to add IncludePath here to make my hello_world running?

Glad to hear you were able to reinstall! 

Can you please try with a sample from nRF in NCS: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/1.5.0/nrf/samples.html#samples
This way we can verify that if it's an issue with your install or not.

As you are getting error difficult to explain I need to ask what type of computer you are using? Are you using VPN? Is this a corporate computer on a corporate network? Sometimes we see downloads fail due to VPN or the anti-virus stops files for some reason.

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Would you please check the picture of my previous reply, I just follow the instructions to play a sample.

I'm not using VPN,  I'm good to access Nordic official site, but for the nRF Connect APP, there are wierd things happened sometimes. No idea.

[Øyvind]

Please see my previous answer. Our samples, who support nRF5340 DK, are tested by Nordic and should not give error you are seeing. Please see Working with nRF53 series, and the chapter: Building and programming a sample.

Thank you.
