Coding for nrf9160 with Segger Embedded Studio

Paddy

Are there any guides, or does anyone have any experience coding for the nrf9160 Feather with Segger Embedded Studio.

Regards.

Paddy I know some other folks on the forum are using SEGGER Embedded Studio. Unfortunately, I don’t have any further information on it. You should be able to install the SDK using nRF Connect Desktop and then add NFED to the west.yml within the nrf folder. The run a west update or equivalent. I’m sure they have some type of GUI button for updating but I’m not 100% sure.

Wish I had a real answer, I spent ‘sometime’ trying to compile D:\ncs\v1.4.1\nfed\samples\blinky. While I did finally get Segger to understand what I wanted to open and open it the ONE thing I need is intelligent, IntelliCode, IntelliSense like behavior; type #define Ctrl+space a list of Kconfig/Zephyr/ect pop up, without those I’m lost. Last time I tried I ended up with three monitors each with multiple windows open trying to track down ‘stuff’.

If anyone knows how to get Segger or Visual Studio Code to work in the Zephyr build environment speak up!

I installed the ‘normal’ v1.5.0 SDK and tried using the SEGGER IDE.

Following the instructions in the Toolchain Manager “first steps to build” info I was able to get sample projects loaded in.

The trick is to use the File | Open nRF Connect SDK Project… option and then ensure you set the checkboxes in the import dialog properly so you can see the options you want in the dropdowns. The feather won’t show up by default unless you check the appropriate box. I couldn’t get the nfed projects to show in the dropdowns but could navigate to them and import them with the … button.

I’ve just done this with the nfed gps project and built it ok.
