nRF5 SDK for Thread and Zigbee examples not working in KEIL

[ashegheparyshun]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile Zigbee examples nRF5-SDK-for-Thread-and-Zigbee  in Keil but faced some errors.

This is the error I got. This is the exact location of the project D:\Nordic\nRF5_SDK_for_Thread_and_Zigbee_v4.1.0_32ce5f8\examples\zigbee\light_control\light_coordinator\pca10056\blank\arm5_no_packs.

Hi ashegheparyshun,

I checked your former cases, it seems you are still in the early stage of your development with the Zigbee product, so I strongly suggest you switch to NCS based solution now.

There are some reasons for this suggestion, I just list some of the critical ones:

1. nRF5_SDK_for_Thread_and_Zigbee_v4.1.0 has been released several years ago, its ZBOSS stack version is quite old and has some bugs that may affect your products.

2. nRF5 SDK is in the maintenance stage, and NCS is actively evolving. You can get quick support and bug fix on NCS. Read nRF Connect SDK and nRF5 SDK statement to learn more detail.

3. Zigbee product certification will soon request  ZCL8 in the near future, NCS will have ZCL8 support in the coming release. 

If you have special reasons to continue with nRF5 SDK and need to solve this issue, please let me know your reason.

Best regards,

Charlie

Hi Charlie,

Yes unfortunately I'm in early stage of development. I'm a master student and also working in a company. This is my personal project.

Any way, let's focus on the problem.

About a year ago, I purchased E73-2G4M08S1C the delivery process took three month itself. During that time, I tried to build a simple blink project. At that moment the only development options was KEIL and the other IDEs but not the VSCode. I decide to use KEIL and faced the first issue which I asked. After E73-2G4M08S1C module was delivered to me, the NCS was available. I switched to VSCode and Zephyr but the hello world and blinky samples didn't work for me. hello_world-debug-problem-on-nrf52840dk-vs-code. Now I have nrf52840dk in my hand, Zephyr's samples run on it just fine without any problem. But, the only sample worked on the E73-2G4M08S1C module is the blinky project. I'm trying to flash the module with another project and maybe a dfu one, so I can upload the Zephyr's projects in a different way.
