Cannot find entry symbol RESET_HANDLER in standalone project based on nRF SDK example

[Kubek]

Hi,
I tried to create standalone project based on SAADC example from nRF SDK. I copied all neccesary .h files etc., changed the include directiories. But then appeared some yet another problem with building the project - "cannot find entry symbol reset_handler; defaulting to 0000000000000000". Project fakes to build, but .HEX and .elf files has only 1-8 KB (probably due to linking problems). No FLASH bar appears in Output, only a RAM one.
I tried to follow this solution: LINK, but those 2 steps don't work (anyway, it has been already set properly).
Please, help me how to fix it. I presume there's no tutorial how to make standalone project based on example, so I'm trying to figure all this out myself.

Hi, 

I would suggest to duplicate the SAADC example as the base to develope.

I duplicated, but in other destination so the project could be standalone - run wherever I want, without access to whole nRF SDK. That's the point. I could make a project in some of "examples" directory, but it has no sense then, beacuse would need whole SDK to run it.

Hi,

Okay, I see.  

Do you include the file nRF5_SDK_17.0.2_d674dde\modules\nrfx\mdk\ses_startup_nrf_common.s and nRF5_SDK_17.0.2_d674dde\modules\nrfx\mdk\ses_startup_nrf52840.s in your project?

Once I included them, yet another problems occur.

Do you add C:\Work\SDK\nRF5_SDK_17.0.2_d674dde\modules\nrfx\mdk\system_nrf52840.c in the project?

You should refer to the example project to import the necessary files.

Now another problem occurs. I found that '_start' is taken from "thumb_crt0.s" file from "SES_directory/source" folder.

But when I added this, then whole project "goes boom".


Btw - is there any particular way to "convert" example project to its standalone version? I thought I took care of each file, directory etc., but there's alwayas next problem. I see some .c, .h, .s files in Project Explorer, but they usually refer to another .h files, that causes adding another files one by one. Do makefile .mak file that's possible to generate, cover all the neccesary files?

Hi, 

I think you could duplicate the makefile or saadc_pca10056.emProject (open with text editor tool), then modify the path of the files. That might be easier.
