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 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

Thanks for the feedback, Neculai! I’m glad to here that you are able to successfully build the Asset Tracker v2 in SES, when it is started via the Toolchain Manager :-)

I’m not that sure if SES will be further improved towards the nRF Connect SDK, as we from version v.1.7x on recommend our customers to use the nRF Connect Extension for Visual Studio Code instead.
