Assert Tracker Build Failure (Building for the First Time)

[cnwiyi]

Can someone help me with the best way to fix my build failure? I am building this (as is) for the first time, and I cant find the ld or implementation for "z_impl_k_sem_give" called from the kernel.

Hi Cnwiyi,

cnwiyi said:

Toolchain v1.2.1 and nRF Connect SDK v2.2.0

What do you mean by this? Are you not using the same toolchain as the SDK version?

1) Can you update SDK and toolchain and start by building other samples first?

2) Next, build the sample by first choosing SDK and Toolchain from the welcome page and then "create a new application" and selecting asset tracker from samples. For the time being, do not select "enable debug options" in the "edit build configuration".

If it is still not successful, can you try repeating the step 2 for ncs v2.0.0 for example.

Hello,

Thanks for your help. 

I tried downgrading to v2.0.0 and built for both thingy91_nrf9160 and thingy91_nrf9160_ns. Both failed based on configuration errors:

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

In regards to the version I provided, they were from the app but to answer your question they are both the same. See below:

I also did try updating the SDK and toolchain, but still got the first error.

Hi Cnwiyi,

This time (using v2.0.0) at least you are not getting that "z_impl_k_sem_give" error.

Now your error is related to the CMakeLists

CMake generation for spm failed, aborting. Command: 1

I just downloaded ncs v2.0.0 and updated its toolchain using nRF connect Desktop app and the Toolchain Manager
I selected the asset tracker application
and built it for nrf9160dk_nrf9160_ns board, and it was all successful

Showing below the spm.conf:

I am sorry I am not able to replicate your error.

Thanks for all your help Naeem. I cleaned everything and restarted from scratch following your steps and it now builds. I should note that I am doing this on a macOS. Thanks and closing this ticket.
