Static code analyze tools for NRF Connect SDK

[trafficode]

Hello,

I'm doing reasearch in static code analyze tools for my projects. At link below I saw that since version ncs 2.1.0 there is possible to use "Sparse" tool to static code analyze but some configs are required... I can't find what kind of configs...

 nrf Connect 1.6.1 SDK : Static Code Analysis 

 I also saw this:

https://docs.zephyrproject.org/3.1.0/develop/test/sparse.html

I've tried to build some example with "-- -DSPARSE=y".

west build -p always -b nrf52dk_nrf52832 samples/basic/blinky -- -DSPARSE=y

As a result I've got...

es2@es2-hpprobook450g1:~/ncs/zephyr$ west build -p always -b nrf52dk_nrf52832 samples/basic/blinky -- -DSPARSE=y

If this is still in progress or something, what kind of tool You recommend for static code analyzing...?

Best regards,

The case is quite urgent, can I ask about some answer...?

 trafficode , please "cherry-pick" the commit linked to below as it was not included in SDK 2.1.0. This should fix the "toolchain not found" error you encountered. 

https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-zephyr/commit/3ebb18b882634be29955a52ea70cd59f634492c1 

 Aleksa , I was not able to reproduce this here. Below is from my terminal when I tried to build the blinky sample with sparse. Could you try to repeat these steps on your end to see if you get the same result? Notice I had to make a symlink for cgcc as cgcc is not included in the ARM toolchain.

[Aleksa]

It works now on my end, my system had some unrelated issues.

Sparse works with ncs v2.2.0 out of the box, no need to cherry-pick the specified commit.

[Vidar Berg]

Thanks for confirming that it worked. But when you say it worked out of the box, do you mean that you did not have to make a symlink for cgcc either? 

[Aleksa]

This was the only command that I've had to run (no symlink):

export REAL_CC=/home/aleksa/zephyr-sdk-0.15.1/arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/arm-zephyr-eabi-gcc

A bit off-topic:
I use manual installation instructions for the NCS since the toolchain manager didn't use to work for Linux. However, I was unable to set build up manually for v2.2.0, without getting the tools from the toolchain manager.

Now I'm a bit confused with all the tools since I have both the zephyr v0.15.1 toolchain and the NCS toolchain. Not sure how all of it works together.

This is my output when I run the same build command as yours:

 Any suggestions?

[Vidar Berg]

 trafficode , did you make the symlink as I suggested?  

 Aleksa , our SDK toolchain includes the zephyr SDK in addition to other dependencies such as python, git and west. The easiest way to use this toolchain is to open the terminal via the toolchain manager app. This will update your env. variable with the paths defined in /ncs/toolchains/v2.2.0/environment.json

Edit: I see now that you created the symlink. Can you echo REAL_CC to confirm it's set correctly?

Edit 2: Please use the 2.2.0 release.

[trafficode]

root@ca30ef32b4ea:~/ncs/nrf# cat VERSION 
2.2.0

[Vidar Berg]

Please specify the full path when you set REAL_CC

[Aleksa]

Did not know that env variables were defined there. Awesome, thanks a lot!
