build problem

[jwillner1958]

I migrated my project from a windows10 pc to my MAC.

Now I get this error massage SDK 17.02 (no softdevice)

->  unknown type name '__printf_tag_ptr'

Any Idea how to fix?

i am using segger embedded studio

Hi,

Which version of Segger Embedded Studio are you using? We have received similar reports for SES v6.20, where Segger have changed the stdio.h library implementation. This causes problems for the retarget.c functions used by some SDK examples.

In general, we always recommend to use the SES version that the SDK release was tested on. You can find this information in the SDK release notes.

Best regards,
Jørgen

Hi Jorgen, yes this was the problem. I switched to 5.7a and problem is solved. 
That's fine for me in the moment. 
i would like to switch to nrf connect and visual studio code in the future. it is an application without bluetooth. will the switch hurt a lot?

Hi Joachim,

nR5 SDK and nRF Connect SDK have very different architectures, so it is not a simple migration from one SDK to the other. You will likely need to re-implement large parts of your project in the new SDK. Unfortunately, we do not have any general migration guides, but I would recommend you to have a look at the nRF Connect SDK getting started guides to get a basic understanding of how to use nRF Connect SDK.

Best regards,
Jørgen
