Hi Cederic, welcome to DevZone.

Did you open Segger Embeded Studio through nRF Connect and Toolchain Manager? 

Are you able to build any other samples, for example ncs\zephyr\samples\hello_world?

One thing to try is to move the project folder so that it gets a shorter path. You could move it to something like C:\projects\rgb_led

Please also feel free to share your project folder and we could take a quick look. 

Best regards, 

Håkon

Hi Hakon,

thanks for your quick Response.

I did open Segger Embedded Studio through nRF Connect and Toolchain Manager and i was able to build other samples.

My next step was to try to follow the tutorials on nRF Connect SDK Series, but for Part 1, Point 1.1,  i have difficulties building the Folder hello_world in Segger Embedded Studio.

Can you please help me in a clearer way on how to do it?

Best regards

Cedric

Hi Cederic,

What are the difficulties you are seeing? Are you getting any build errors? 

Exactly which part would you like to be more clear? 

Have you created the three files, main.c(located in the folder src), CMakeLists.txt, and prj.conf and placed them in your project folder like this? 

If you want, you could upload the hello_world folder as a .zip. I could then take a look to see if anything is missing. I could also try to build it on my computer. 

Best regards,

Håkon

Hi Hakon,

thanks for your respond.

I have created the three files and i have placed them in my project folder. But i cannot open it from Segger Embbeded Studio for ARM.

There is not option for me to be able to upload the folder.

Best regards 

Cedric
