Build failed for dimming client

FishFood6

I got an error when trying to build the dimming_client_nrf52840 example.

Simple error:

build/dimming_client_nrf52840_xxAA_s140_7.0.1_Debug/obj/ses_startup_nrf_common.o: in function `afterInitialize':

undefined reference to `__RAM_segment_end__'

Detailed error:

I'm on a fresh install with 

nRF5_SDK: 16.0.0 (previously 17.0.2, but the example requested 16.0.0)

nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh: 4.2.0

Any and all help is apreciated.

Regards

    Okay, we've managed to fix it by adding "SDK_ROOT:filepath to the nRF5_SDK_17.0.2_d674dde folder" to Tools >> Building >> Global Macros. It now just runs based off of SDK version 17.0.2. 

    The "undefined reference to '___RAM_segement_end___' error was fixed by changing RAM to RAM1 in glash_placement.xml and the project file when I opened them with notepad.
