I see the same with the ble_app_uart_pca10056_s140 example project. The issue and fix is described in this thread.

Clarification for future reference:

In most cases getting RTT to work with Segger Embedded Studio >= 6.20a just involved removing SEGGER_RTT_Syscalls_SES.c from the project. See this thread for more details.
In some cases (like with ble_app_uart) you also need to do the following (see this thread for more info):
1. Remove retarget.c from the project.
2. Update the project configuration as shows in this screenshot.

I know what it 'should' do, but I already said that performing those steps did not work for us, and I reported the resulting list of errors.
Our software project was based on the ble_app_uart_pca10056_s140 example project.

The main changes to the project are adding the use of the SPIM3 and SAADC devices for audio input/output. None of which should make any real difference to this issue. I suspect the most likely culprit is using NRF_LOG_INFO to report debug messages to the messages window within the SEGGER IDE.
Can the whole NRF_LOG_INFO logging system now be replaced with PRINTF instead, or is that not how debugging is supposed to be implemented?
NB: I am using the nRF5_SDK_17.1.0_ddde560 together with the s140 softdevice

I tried to include the sdk_config.h file which contains all the relevant settings for the project, but the forum gave the following error:
"We apologize, but an unexpected issue prevented the page you requested from being available. We've logged the issue so the site administrator can resolve the problem. "

Hi,

It should be enough to just remove SEGGER_RTT_Syscalls_SES.C from the project (right click on it and select "Remove"). Which example project do you get these errors with? And what changes have you made to the example project?
