Segger - nRF Connect Options

[burimaliu]

When trying to generate a new project Segger Project for my Project

in the option "Extra CMake Build Options" want to pass something like  -DCONF_FILE='prj_test.conf' -DDTC_OVERLAY_FILE='test.overlay'

But it ends always with an error " File not found: C:/Development/project/prj_test.conf'"

What is the proper syntax here?

Hi,

I have tried to do some digging, but so far I have been unable to figure out the correct way to add multiple build options in "Extra CMake Build Options". I will check this internally and come back to you.

In the meantime, you can set the options in your CMakeLists.txt file. For how to do this, please see Zephyr documentation - Application Development or nRF Connect SDK Tutorial - 2.2.2 Modify device tree and configurations of a child image. You can also build on the command line and adding these arguments as follows:

west build -b <board_name> -- -DCONF_FILE='prj_test.conf' -DDTC_OVERLAY_FILE='test.overlay'

Best regards,

Marte

Hi,

Thnx for the confirmation. Currently i am building only with command line and can continue my work

But if i want to debug something it is bit effort now to setup Segger Studio. Would be a great if the feature would work

Hi,

This has already been reported internally previously, and can be found in the list of known issues for SES in our documentation: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/known_issues.html#segger-embedded-studio-nordic-edition

As a workaround, you can create a CMake preload script containing CONF_FILE and DTC_OVERLAY_FILE settings, and then specify -C <pre-load-script>.cmake in "Extra CMake Build Options".

Best regards,
