nRF5 SDK 17.1.0 examples is not compiling in latest SES (6.20a)

[Fredrik Malmsten]

e.g, when compiling ble_app_hrs I get:

7> Compiling ‘cc310_backend_eddsa.c’
4> C:\nRF\nRF5SDK\external\segger_rtt\SEGGER_RTT_Syscalls_SES.c:76:10: fatal error: __vfprintf.h: No such file or directory
4> 76 | #include "__vfprintf.h"

Should I downgrade SES or is there any better solution to get a quick start?

Same problem here and I have downgraded back to v5.68

Hi,

There has been a change in recent Segger Embedded Studio versions that require you to remove the SEGGER_RTT_Syscalls_SES.c file from the project. With that, it should build as expected. For reference, this is mentioned in the Embedded Studio Library IO documentation:

Note: Older projects might include SEGGER_RTT_Syscalls_SES.c or a similar file to override printf(). When using the SEGGER Runtime Library, this file should be removed from the project, or its content should be encapsulated with #if !defined(__SEGGER_RTL_VERSION) ... #endif

Thx for explanation

Hi Einar,

I am also having the same issue while i builf "ble_app_blinky"

__vfprintf.h: No such file or directory in segger v6.20

when i delete SEGGER_RTT_Syscalls_SES.c file from the project it build successful.

I can't understand the purpose of this SEGGER_RTT_Syscalls_SES.c 

where it will use while debugging ? 

if i build the same project without SEGGER_RTT_Syscalls_SES.c  in segger v5.68 . it build successful 

where i want to use #if !defined(__SEGGER_RTL_VERSION) ... #endif
