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]

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

Please specify the full path when you set REAL_CC

It looks like we are doing the same, so I'm not sure why we end up with different results. Would you mind testing the same with the NCS toolchain (installed via the app mentioned here: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/gs_assistant.html)? 

Just remember to open the terminal via the toolchain manager app:

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

My goal is to integrate static code analyse with bitbucket's pipline. I can't imagine how to do that in different than command line way... So even it will work with nRF Connect SDK for desktop, that won't be siutable solution for me... Whole process has to be scripted.

If it is possible, can You try the same as I did with podman ubuntu image...? It takes 20 minutes... In diffrent way I think we can spend next three monts here... Or maybe should I try some other way of technical support...? Can You give me some other options?

[Vidar Berg]

As the NCS toolchain worked for me and the others in this thread, I thought it was worth a try. It can be installed via the terminal too (with nRF Util). Anyway, if we take a step back and look at the actual error message, we can see that the build is failing because CMake is unable to locate the "cgcc" executable: 

CMake Error at /home/ncs/ncs/zephyr/cmake/compiler/gcc/target.cmake:10 (find_program):
Could not find CMAKE_C_COMPILER using the following names: cgcc

Have you tried to add "/home/ncs/zephyr-sdk-0.15.1/arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/" to your PATH?

$ export PATH=/home/ncs/zephyr-sdk-0.15.1/arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/:"$PATH"

Uff... Works!  Vidar Berg (vibe) thanks a lot...

Next few questions... 

* Is it possible to set build directory when we build with vs code extension?

* Is it possible to include SPARSE when we build with vs code extension?
