Hi, I figured out. I actually followed all steps correctly but turned out I use static keyword in my functions in the header file, which make them inaccessible from main.c

Hi,

Seems you don't follow this Including header files doc. to include the head file. Please check it again.

Hi Amanda, I can fix the issue of adding the existing built-in library files of nRF SDK. However, I have the same issue but this time with my custom header file. I have a custom header file name VMS_ble.h. This file and its VMS_ble.c defined the function log_init. When compiling, I have this error:

Output/Debug/Obj/ble_app_uart_pca10040_s132/main.o: in function `main':
undefined reference to `log_init'

Here are what I have tried:
1. Ensure #include "VMS_ble.h" is in main.c
2. Added VMS_ble.c and VMS_ble.h to the project directory

3. Added the path to User Included Directory. This step is a bit tricky in my special case. The VMS_ble.h is located in this directory

while the SES project file is located in here. Therefore, I put the path as ../../..

All the .c and .h files in these 2 paths are identical. What do I miss? I have checked the instruction link you sent yesterday.

See Adding files documentation for the information.

Hi Amanda,

I have purchased the nRF52832 eval kit and used Segger Embedded Studio. During the processed of using an online example to customize BLE services, I encounter this error after compiling all the files:

Linking ble_app_uart_pca10040_s132.elf

Output/Debug/Obj/ble_app_uart_pca10040_s132/main.o: in function `pm_evt_handler':

undefined reference to `fds_gc'

I have added the fds.c file to the SES directory, I also added the fds folder into the User Included Directory. I also make sure my main.c has included "fds.h". What do I miss here? Can you please let me know the solution? Thank you.

Best regards,

Xander

Hi,

[quote user="Xander To"]I want to know if it will be a lot easier to program in Segger Studio?[/quote]

Segger Studio can help develop with nRF5 SDK easier since it has a friendly GUI and functions.

[quote user="Xander To"]Do I have to still change sdk_config.h whenever I enable a new module?[/quote]

That's true.

[quote user="Xander To"]Do I have to add file to Makefile whenever I added a new file to the project?[/quote]

That's correct.

Please be aware that our latest SDK is nRF Connect SDK (NCS) and nRF5SDK is in maintained mode. That means the latest features update will be with NCS instead of nRF5SDK. Seems you are in the early stage to start a project. I would suggest you use NCS. There are courses demonstrating how to develop with NCS and BLE at Nordic Developer Academy. Hope they can help you.

Hi Amanda,

The tutorial in the above link has mentioned increasing RAM size in the .ld file. The issue I have is that if I start from the ble_app_hrs template and follow the above tutorial to create the custom BLE service, BLE stops working as soon as I add the custom BLE service. However, if I start again from the ble_uart template, I can remove the NUS service and replace it by my custom service and it works. So I guess the different is in the sdk_config.h and/or Makefile files. However, I don't know what else to change in sdk_config.h rather than the NRF_SDH_BLE_VS_UUID_COUNT parameter.

We will purchase a dev board soon and I want to know if it will be a lot easier to program in Segger Studio? Do I have to still change sdk_config.h whenever I enable a new module? Do I have to add file to Makefile whenever I added a new file to the project? This is quite a tedious process that I want it to be automatic.

Best regards

Hi,

Please try to modify the RAM size from Project -> Options-> Linker -> Section Placement Macros according to the log. The following is the example from ble_app_blink_s132
