secure bootloader compilation error

Question

Hi All, 
 I am using nRF5_SDK_17.1.0 
 while building SDK example project uder the below path with SES 
 ..
RF5_SDK_17.1.0_ddde560\examples\dfu\secure_bootloader\pca10100_s140_ble\ses the following errors I am getting 
 Building ‘secure_bootloader_ble_s140_pca10100’ from solution ‘secure_bootloader_ble_s140_pca10100’ in configuration ‘Release’ Compiling ‘nrf_fstorage_nvmc.c’ Compiling ‘micro_ecc_backend_ecc.c’ nrf_crypto_ecc_backend.h nrf_crypto_ecc.h micro_ecc_backend_ecc.c uECC.h: No such file or directory Compiling ‘micro_ecc_backend_ecdh.c’ nrf_crypto_ecc_backend.h nrf_crypto_ecc.h nrf_crypto_ecdh.h micro_ecc_backend_ecdh.c uECC.h: No such file or directory Compiling ‘micro_ecc_backend_ecdsa.c’ nrf_crypto_ecc_backend.h nrf_crypto_ecc.h micro_ecc_backend_ecdsa.c uECC.h: No such file or directory Compiling ‘pb_common.c’ Compiling ‘pb_decode.c’ Compiling ‘boards.c’ Compiling ‘nrf_nvmc.c’ Build failed 
 
 Actually searched for uECC.h file in SDK but it is not included in the SDK, 
 Is there any way to overcome this.

It looks like make is not installed or is not found in the path. As the documentation states, you need to install make: "Make sure that make is installed (see, for example, MinGW , GNU Make , or Xcode )". The easiest way to install make today is probably through chocolatey . Note that you will have to install chocolatey before running the command to install make. 
 You will also need to have git installed for the script to clone the micro-ecc repository from Github.

Hi, 
 Now able to build successfully, 
 when I Run the following command to generate a DFU Settings Page based on our application hex file 
 C:\Users\sudheerkumar.a\Desktop\Dfu_image>nrfutil settings generate --family NRF52833 --application ble_app_uart_pca10100_s140.hex --application-version 1 --bootloader-version 1 --bl-settings-version 2 bl_settings.hex 
 The below error is occurring 
 Usage: nrfutil settings generate [OPTIONS] HEX_FILE Try 'nrfutil settings generate --help' for help. 
 Error: Invalid value for '--family': 'NRF52833' is not one of 'NRF51', 'NRF52', 'NRF52QFAB', 'NRF52810', 'NRF52840'. 
 
 Please let me know if anything I need to add for successfully DFU settings 
 
 Regards, 
 Sudheer

The problem is stated in the error message: " Invalid value for '--family': 'NRF52833' is not one of 'NRF51', 'NRF52', 'NRF52QFAB', 'NRF52810', 'NRF52840'." 
 Try setting --family parameter to "NRF52", as NRF52833 is not a valid option.
