Hi Herre,

Could you please try install GCC ARM Embedded 9.2020-q2.major ?
Also could you let me know the make.exe you used was from which package ?

In my case I'm using make from Chocolatey (GNU make)

To be precise, I installed the GNU ARM embedded toolchain version, version 10.3.1. This was suggested in a getting started video that I found otherwise very helpful: https://youtu.be/kyPKIRQIacI. It doesn't matter if I send a make command through VS code or my windows command line interface. It fails either way. I tried it in OSX environment and it compiles without any trouble.

It seems to be related to Windows, as for some reason it doesn't accept && as a command separator. In command line interface it did accept this command and create the folder, but then it failed on another step somewhere soon after that.

Hi Herre,

I would suggest to try testing compiling with GCC first before you test with VS Code. Please note that VS Code is not officially supported in nRF5 SDK. (It's supported in nRF Connect SDK but not nRF5 SDK).

Have you installed GCC ARM Embedded 9.2020-q2.major ? It's the GCC version used for nRF5 SDK v17.1

I’m not having the same errors, but am having issues getting VSC to build without errors under Windows 10. Used to work fine, then sometime after an update it stopped working.

I wound the update back, but I still get the error. Mine seems related to the gatt.h declarations around GATT services and characteristics.

Posted about it on here a few days ago but haven’t had anything back as yet. Keen to see if your issues and mine are related
