Hi,

I am working with NRF52840 DK, from this i am using KEIL IDE. I got some error while opening the KEIL SW  like Cannot set path to software packs. Make sure that RTEPATH  is set in TOOL.INI. And also the KEIL IDE is closing suddenly, please anyone help on this how to solve this error.

Thanks

Hi,

I must admit I have never seen this error before. Note that we have not distributed the SDK as packs for quite a few years. You should download the SDK from here, the exception is the nRF device family pack which you need to install.

(As a side note the Keil license is quite expensive and Segger Embedded Studio is an excellent IDE that is supported in the nRF5 SDK that can be used free of charge for development with nRF devices, so I suggest you consider that instead unless you have a Keil license and are committed to use Keil.)

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply.

For me NRF SDK is working fine, my problem is when i open KEIL IDE its closing suddenly and as i said the above error is showing continuously.

I see. Can you try asking in the Keil support forum?
