Hello support

I have modified the cli examples and run into "undefined reference to `nrf_cli_uart_transport_api'" linker error. 

The error message is

The terminal process "zsh '-c', 'make'" terminated with exit code: 2.

I am using visual studio code with GCC compiler.

Can you help?  Much appreciated.

Hi there,

I did more testing with the Nordic's recommended IDE (Segger Embedded Studio) and SDK nRF5_SDK_17.0.2_d674dde.  I found similar issue with the " `nrf_cli_uart_transport_api'".

Here is how to reproduce this issue.

1. UsenRF5_SDK_17.0.2_d674dde and Segger Embedded Studio v5.6
2. Open cli examples
    a. sdk_root\examples\peripheral\cli  or
    b. sdk_root\examples\peripheral\cliuarte
3. Build the solution. 

The error message is copied below
