C3903U: Argument '-D__MICROLIB' not permitted for option 'cpu'.

[MDF]

My aim is to use a nRF52832 for a Bluetooth peripheral device.

- I just started with a fresh SES V5.44 and downloaded the nRF SDK 17.0.2
- I imported the example "ble_app_hids_keyboard_pca10040_s112" from the SDK
- trying to build the code throws this error : C3903U: Argument '-D__MICROLIB' not permitted for option 'cpu'.

I was asuuming that the examples would compile without any issues - what can I do ?

thanks, matthias

SES V5.44

The release notes say the SDK is tested against v4.50:

That's not a code error - that's one of the tools complaining about a command-line error.

Please post the full build output transcript - that should show the command line and where, exactly, this error is being thrown

They certainly should

I'd suggest first trying with the recommended SES version: you're using one that's a major version increment - so could be breaking changes ... ?

EDIT

Someone else having problems when using SES v5.something with nRF5 SDK v17.0.2 (ie, later than recommended in the SDK Release Notes) :

I found out, that this issue seems to be related to nRFgo Studio and/or my hex file. I used NRFgo Studio to download the hex file from the segger compilation into the nrf52, and after this, SES reports the cortex-m0. When I erase all memory and download another hex-file (which I know that works), the device reports as Cortex-M4

I guess that the hex binary from SES is somehow not ok - but how can I find this out ? Its just the example from SDK 17.0.2 with no modification

Do you know whether its possible to have two versions of SES installed in parallel ? I mean 4.50 and 5.44

nRF GO Studio is ancient - does it even support nRF52832 ?

You should be using nRF Connect:

Or just download direct from SES.

It was certainly possible with v4.50 and earlier versions
