About GCC compilation and the nrf51 SDK

[Marius Heil]

Hello,

I am currently using the SDK setup from this URL: embeddedsoftdev.blogspot.de/.../ehal-nrf51.html

In order to use that setup, one must change a line in the file nrf_svc.h and add a cast:

  "bx r14" : : "I" ((uint16_t)number) : "r0" \

Otherwise, my mesh will not compile with GCC. Could you change this line in a future SDK version? After all, a cast should not hurt and there are only 255 SVC calls I believe. Is that right?

Thanks, Marius

I use GCC and every SDK since 6 has compiled. 5 compiled as well with a minor tweak to the linker scripts.

What version of the SDK is that and what version of GCC are you using? Are you using the official version from ARM at their launchpad site? What is your host OS?

I suspect he's using C++ which is picky about such things.

It's a well know, long persisting "issue" with the SDK: devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../.

[Marius Heil]

yes, C++ it is ;-)

Well, just in time to ask again, then :-) Maybe it will get solved this time.
