Setting up ARM GCC and Nordic SDK

I am beginner on this platform. I was hoping for KEIl IDE to aid my development, but since license fee is more, i wanted to try GCC platform. But unable to set it up. In nAN-29 pdf, chapter 2 document there is a step 6. Select the _build\ble_hrs_gcc_s110_xxaa.outfile in the _build folderof the project. I am unable to fine the file and path. I searched on my laptop through SEARCH EVERYTHING tool. Its not present on my system. I did everything mentioned in the guide. Kindly help. Also, its instruction written all over the place. Not explaining what is happening and meaning/purpose. Could someone please give me brief overview ( i am just started on GCC + ARM platform).

  • I suppose you would need a successful build (compile+linking without errors), before both the folder and .out (binary) file are produced.

    There is a some work involved with getting Eclipse+GCC to work, but once you have invested the time I can assure that you are going to like it. I have tried both platforms, and though Keil is a lot easier to get working, I think Eclipse+GCC is the better choice in the long run. So go ahead and see if you can figure the problems one by one. Troubleshooting will teach you a lot of how the Eclipse+GCC setup is working - it did for me.

  • As KPE correctly states above, this file will only be there once you have successfully compiled your project.

    I've often found it easiest to get compiling to work from the command line first, and only after that getting Eclipse to work. Do you get any errors when running make from a command line shell inside the gcc subfolder of the project?
