Problems with Exercise 1 , Lesson 5 of the DevAcademy "nRF Connect SDK fundamentals" course

[Jacek Majda]

Good day,

I did follow the usual steps of this an exercise, namely:

1. I did download the base exercise project contained in the zip file: fund_less5_exer1.zip (I attach a copy of this file)

2. I did extract this zip file in my exercise folder that I use with this course.

3. I followed all the steps 1 to 9.3 of this exercise but I was unable to build  the application.

The following 5 errors related to the #include statements in lines 4,5,6,7 and 10 in the src/main.c file were listed, as shown in the attached file: "Errors_10-July-2022"

line 4: #include <zephyr.h>

line5: #include <device.h>

line6: #include <devicetree.h>

line7: #include # <drivers/gpio.h>

line 10: #include <drivers/uart.h>

Upon investigation I noticed that line 3 in the CMakeLists.txt file for this exercise differs from a similar line in the CMakeLists.txt file in the previous exercises of this course, as far as the "cmake_minimum_required" is concerned.

For Lesson5_Exercise1 the line 3 of CMakeLists.txt file reads: cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.20.0) while for the previous exercises line 3 of the CMakeLists.txt file reads: cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.13.1).

Could this be the root of the problem?  If so, how to rectify it?

Regards,

JM

Hello,

The screenshot you shared in the last reply says that it's a "squiggle error" which you can rectify by:

 Clicking on that error and press the enable squiggles option, OR if this doesn't work,

1. Press Ctrl+ (comma) which will take you to the settings page.

2. type in "error squiggles" in the search bar.

3. There are 2 sections in this - User, Workspace.

In the User section, under 'Error Squiggles' , select " EnabledIfIncludesResolve "

In the Workspace section, under 'Error Squiggles' , select " Disabled".

I would like to know whether you are able to see this error after compilation because mostly it disappears. The files I shared in the last reply was tested, so hopefully it will work.

Kind Regards,

Abhijith
