Eclipse Registers Missing

[phipi]

I'm trying to debug a project I recently migrated to eclipse but my Peripheral Registers are empty with the error message "There are no peripherals descriptions available, install the required packs". Can someone guide me as to how to populate the device registers?

I set things up using the migration guide on this site.

Using nRF5283 with SDK14.1

Hi,

What SDK version are you using? and what nRF chip are you using ?

Did you follow our guide here ? Are you using the modified makefiles at the end of the guide, that uses a workaround for the CDT build output parser?

---

Note that 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.

You can download SDK 14.1 here.

You can download Segger Embedded Studio from here.

I updated my question with the details I missed. I'm pretty sure I'm using the modified makefiles but I will double check that. Unfortunately the customer wants Eclipse so SES is not an option in this case.

[Sigurd]

With SDK 14.1 it should not be necessary with the makefile modifications.

Could you post the “debug launcger config” and console output ?

Are you using jlink for debugging?

Are you missing all the registers, or only the core peripheral registers ? See this post.

[phipi]

I attached the config page. The site wouldn't allow me to attach the log for some reason but I've included it in the text of the original post.

I'm using the nRF52DK so I'm using the onboard segger for debug. I am just missing the peripheral registers.

Maybe this post might help: devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../
