Hi Mangus,

Removing the entire ncs folder and building again the environment (1.5) - solved the problem

I now see my 833DK working as AOA tag on UBLOX platform

Thanks a lot

Avi

Hi,

Probably a build with the newer nRF Connect version has left some traces in the build system in your repo. Try with a completely new repo or by cleaning the build system:

west build -t pristine (or remove the whole build folder)

west build -b nrf52833dk_nrf52833

Best Regards,

Magnus

Hello again,

I am liking those instructions. At first I thought there was an issue with the environment variables, but it is true that pressing "open bash" on the option for your given and downloaded NCS version should take care of that. And if that option also allows you to build other samples such as for instance the Blinky one, then we need to look elsewhere.

I would assume that both of the sets of instructions are referring to the same root folder here. Odd that it is hard to find though. Would you mind sending me the Ublox SW where the aoa_beacon root folder should be?

Best regards,

Elfving

Yes, I ran the blinky example using the SES (as part of the Zephyr in SDK Connect).

UBLOX are giving 2 options to build and download: SES and with West.

The instructions for SES are:

In nRF Connect go to Toolchain Manager and install it.
Open the Toolchain Manager and download nRF Connect SDK 1.5.
After download click Open IDE.
In Segger Embedded Studio go to File -> open nRF connect SDK project.
Select the aoa_beacon root folder.
Select the ubx_evkninab4_nrf52833 inside u-blox-sho-OpenCPU/zephyr folder as the board config.
After SeS loaded the project you can build and flash.

I couldn't find the the aoa_beacon root folder - So I used the other way of West:

Open nRF Connect and open Toolchain Manager
Right next to the "nRF Connect SDK v1.5.0" you have a dropdown, click "Open bash". This step is not required, but it will set up the necessary environment variables for you.
cd to project folder
west build -b ubx_evkninab4_nrf52833
west flash
west flash only should be enough for building + flashing after that, specifying the board is only needed on the first build.

Maybe I should use the first way - but where is the aoa_beacon root folder?

Are you able to build any other examples?

Yes, I put the project folder in the ncs 1.5 under the /ncs/v1.5.0/zephyr/samples/c209-aoa-tag-master

And run the command: west build -b ubx_evkninab4_nrf52833

And I still get the same error:

I'm still a bit uncertain about that. Are you able to build the other examples available in NCS 1.5? And did you try my previous suggestions?

[quote user="Elfving"]Could you try to add the project in the NCS v1.5 folders and see if that makes a difference? Or open the command line you use from the Toolchain Manager App?[/quote]

No - it doesn't. Somehow I still get this pointer to 1.7.1

What is causing that? Any other Nordic package?

I see. So does it work now?

I am using my own nRF52833 board or the DK and try to run the UBLOX SW on it

I removed my previous 7.1.7 from my PC and installed 1.5

Under ncs, I have only 1.5 folder

Hello Avi!

There might be some Path issues here, it seems that the Zephyr path points to NCS 1.7. Could you try to add the project in the NCS v1.5 folders and see if that makes a difference? Or open the command line you use from the Toolchain Manager App?

If I understood you correctly you are using your own nRF52833 board (potentially the DK) and try to run the UBLOX SW on it?

Best regards,

Elfving
