What SDK are you using? If you are having problems with the latest SDK release (v11) please add a new question.

It looks like the current release is 8.6.1 now. I've tried uninstalling that and just leaving 8.0.3 but I'm still getting the same error. As Mich points out, you can't delete the RTE folders as they are reference by the project. Are you guys planning on fixing this?

The current SDK uses 8.0.3. If you don't use the SDK you can use 8.1.0. The next SDK release will probably use 8.1.0 or later.

As per above, I have used this project on 0.9.2 all along and it behaves the same way as 0.9.0. So this solution does not seem right. My best guess is that you have uninstalled 8.1.0 which actually fixed the problem as per the above.

OK, I did some playing around with this. Your description does solve the reported issue. The important part is that 8.1.0 must not be installed in order to not get this compilation issue. It is insufficient to just have 8.0.3 selected in the 'Select Software Packs' dialog. To the point below, I have used this solution on 0.9.2 and it behaves the same way so the solution below does not seem right. My best guess is that you have uninstalled 8.1.0 which actually fixed the problem. Begs the question what 8.1.0 can be used for then? It obviously breaks the builds every time since the startupfile is trying to map structs that are never defined anywhere.

Thanks Petter. I deleted pack 8.1.0, but I can't delete RTE folder because the compiler will complain that there is no startup.s code. Therefore, compiling still fails. However, I opened the SDK link and found that there is a new version 9.0.2. I use this one and am able to compile successfully. developer.nordicsemi.com/.../

I believe you get these errors because you are using an Device Family Pack that is incompatible with the SDK.

The Device Family Pack that can be downloaded together with the SDK is 8.0.3. As you can see here. Install it in the Pack Installer by clicking File->Import...

It can be a bit troublesome to downgrade this from 8.0.5 or 8.1.0 which I guess you are using, but this should work:

Uninstall all 8.x.x device family packs (except 8.0.3 if you have it). Then it should look like this in the pack installer:

The Select Software Packs should look like this:

And the Run-Time Environment should look like this:

You also need to delete the _build and the RTE folders in the project folder. If you compile now, you shouldn't get any errors.

I have the exact same problem here. I see the same happening for either the heart rate or the ble uart example. I used to do nrf51 development on the same machine but I have updated to the latest packs and SDK. The basic blinky sample works just fine but that doesn't use the same startup file. Note: I tested both the SDK 0.9.0 and 0.9.2 and I see the same behavior.

Hi Petter,

I didn't modify anything. I just attached the the screen shot on my original post. Thanks.

I just compiled the unmodified ble_app_proximity. No errors. You haven't modified anything? Could you include a screenshot in your question?
