Eclipse version

[akash]

Hi, I recently purchased nrf52 development board for debugging nRF52832. I was following your tutorial "Development with GCC and Eclipse" and it is not working for me. Can you tell me the version of eclipse you used in the tutorial and/or more better if you have a newer tutorial for eclipse neon 3 version.

Hi,

With the release of SDK 14.1, we have added support for Segger Embedded Studio (SES) IDE. You can use Segger Embedded Studio for commercial and non-commercial purpose with Nordic Semiconductor devices free of charge without any code limit. See this article for more information. I would therefore recommend using SES instead of Eclipse. We do have a SES youtube tutorial series you can take a look at here.

You can download SDK 14.1 here.

You can download Segger Embedded Studio from here.

It appears all dev tools for Nordic chips are pay only, supporting eclipse would deny their third party vendors $$$ in the 1000's range.

There are other chip options, our evaluation is not going well, the dev tools for Nordic chips are expensive and poor

Both GCC and Segger Embedded Studio IDE are free to use. We have Segger Embedded Studio projects in the latest SDK version. If you have any problems with your evaluation, please create a new question here on devzone so we can help you. I would recommend using Segger Embedded Studio instead of eclipse.
