asset_tracker_v2 build error in NRF Connect SDK V1.8

[Neculai Agavriloaie]

Hi, 

Trying to build the asset_tracker_v2 application I finally get the following error:

Rebuilding ‘zephyr / zephyr.elf’ from solution ‘build’ in configuration ‘Common’
Compiling ‘dev_handles.c’
Compiling ‘isr_tables.c’
Linking ‘zephyr.elf’
Post-link command
[WinError 2] The system cannot find the specified file

The software packages used are:
NRF Connect SDK V1.8
SES Nordic Edition V5.68

Trying to compile the same application from NRF Connect V1.71 is successful.

Thank You!

Neculai

Hello Neculai,

thanks a lot for your feedback! I have tried to reproduce the issue you are facing, but I’m not able to do so both on Ubuntu, Windows 10 and Windows 11. So I might need to check this internally and see if I can filter some information from SES that could point to the root cause of your problem.

When compiling and linking in SES (Nordic Edition of course) I got the same error for the example given and following the instructions given by you.

Just one question here, though. How do you start SES? Are you using the “Open Segger Embedded Studio” button in the Toolchain Manager, or do you have a separate installation of it?

Regards,

Markus

Hello Markus,

The only way I can successfully open and compile a new project from the Applications directory is to launch "nRF Connect for Desktop" first.

Thus, the commands that lead to success are the following:

nRF Connect for Desktop -> Open Toolchain Manager -> Open Segger Embedded Studio -> File .. Open nRF Connect SDK Project ....

If I launch SES first and then choose the project by order:

File -> Open nRF Connect SDK Project ....
then compiling and linking will give error !!!

I think it's a problem of synchronization between these tools. I will use this procedure until new improved versions appear.

Thank you so much for your help!

Regards,

Neculai
