nRF Connect SDK Sample Project Build Failure

[g204]

Hi there,

I've installed and followed the nRF Connect SDK manual install getting started guide (https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/gs_installing.html).

System: Ubuntu 20.04 VM running on macOS 12.1 through Parallels.

Board: NRF52840 Development Kit

When trying to build using "west build -b nrf52840dk_nrf52840" via either command line or SEGGER studio I am hit with the following error message:

gideon@ubuntu-vm:~/ncs/zephyr/samples/hello_world$ west build -b nrf52840dk_nrf52840

I'm hoping someone is able to assist with this.

Hello Gideon,

can you try the following command from your home directory in a terminal? Please note that you have to modify the path accordingly, with the installed version on your distribution.

user@user-ubu:~$ gnuarmemb/gcc-arm-none-eabi-10.3-2021.10/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc –version

arm-none-eabi-gcc (GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain 10.3-2021.10) 10.3.1 20210824 (release)

Hi Markus,

See output below when I run the command:

gideon@ubuntu-vm:~$ gnuarmemb/gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2019-q4-major/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc -version
bash: gnuarmemb/gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2019-q4-major/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
gideon@ubuntu-vm:~$ 

Regards,

Gideon

I'd also just like to confirm that I am running the 64-bit version of Ubuntu and downloaded the 64-bit GNU Embedded Arm Toolchain: "gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2019-q4-major-aarch64-linux.tar.bz2".

Regards,

Gideon
