Lots of "No such file or directory" errors when "make -j all" command is used

[Ömer]

Hi everyone,

I am new to nRF52833, and trying to learn it with some tutorials. I am following this tutorial.

You can download my "examples" file from here. You should put it under "examples" folder.

I am attaching the errors when I execute "make -j all" command under the directory of "...pca10100\s140\armgcc"

Also, I give some details below.

DK: nRF52833-DK

pca number: pca10100

SDK: NRF5_SDK_15.0.0

These are the errors I get:

If you want some other details, I can share with you.

Thanks,

Hello Omer,

nRF5 SDK v15.0.0 is not compatible with nRF52833. Please choose nRF5 SDK v16.0.0 or higher. You can see which versions are compatible on the Infocenter in this compatibility matrix.
For more information on the nRF5 SDK, take a look at this blogpost from 2020.

Since you are just getting started, I recommend that you consider using our newer SDK: nRF Connect SDK.
A recently updated course covering the fundamentals of nRF Connect SDK is available here on DevZone.

Kind regards,

Maria

Hello Maria,

Several hours after posting this question, I realized this incompatibility issue when I don't see the name of my kit in "...modules\nrfx\mdk" and its "pca number" in "readme.txt" of the examples.

Recently I have been surfing from one SDK to another SDK to run my tutorial. But the thing is I had lots of problems with both. I will try to post those with the new SDK here.

Edit: Maybe, I should post them by opening a new discussion.

Thanks for your reply,

Omer
