nrf5 sdk example build fails with embuild

[Umer Mahmood]

I am trying to build my nrf5 sdk v16 project in command line using embuild.exe but it fails with an error in step: Generating linker script 'projectName.ld'  error: unknown option option -target

I can reproduce this with nrf5_sdk/examples/peripheral/blinky example using the following command:

emBuild.exe blinky_pca10056.emProject -config "Debug" -verbose  -rebuild -studiodir "/c/Program Files/SEGGER/SEGGER Embedded Studio for ARM 4.12/"

using the option '-echo'  in above command, I see following command being executed in the failed step:

1>Generating linker script 'blinky_pca10056.ld'

I am using SES v4.12 (I have also tried, v4.18, v5.44, v5.68 wihout any success).

Hi,

Typically something like this should work,

emBuild.exe -config "Release" myproject.emProject -echo -verbose -rebuild

I see following command being executed in the failed step:

I have not seen this issue before. I recommend that you contact Segger about this.
