I am able to find the .hex, ,bin and .elf files in the Debug/Zephyr folder, but still getting the error message
This solves all my problems it was a lifesaver for me thanks to you guys
I am saving over 146kb on Flash and 24k on RAM
Regards, Luna
Hi there, I tried to check the memory utilization via View->Embedded Memory Explorer. So the app size when I am using 13R3 is 18k and when I am using 14R2 it seems slightly bigger, 29k ( so I can live with that), also compared it using the same project using the Nordic SDK 14.2. (my post above)
But my issue is at time of building the project this is adding the softdevice extra size to my .hex and .bin files which affects my application because I need to transfer my app files thru Bluetooth, it affects directly my application performance and battery life, transfer 170kb are harder than only 19kb when I am using the version 13R3. On my true application are more than 400kb!!!
I also believe that. because it does not make any difference reducing or increasing the code size when choosing “Separate Softdevice” on the version 14R2, but when we are using the version 13.R3 and selected Separate Softdevice reduces 124kb giving a total of 19kb in the flash usage vs 143kb when is selected program with Softdevice
please see the examples below where I am comparing Nordic GDB 13.R3 vs Nordic GDB 14R2 vs Nordic SDK 14.2
all using the same project Beacon for the different SDK versions and Nordic GDB releases from you
guys, I am sorry for bothering you, after I updated Nordic BSP and re-generated the MCU-specific files, I am able to build my app when is selected S132 ( programmed separately), but I am unable to see a reduced app size, correct me if I am wrong but it looks is building something like: app+softdevice, before I upgraded the version to 14.2 or 14.2 r2 my app was around 80KB(ver 13.0 r3), now it is larger than 200KB!
Oh thanks I found it, but I still have an issue. After I selected “S132 (Programmed Separately)” and build the project. I got the following:
Error nrf_sdm.h: No such file or directory
Error [Clang IntelliSense] Error: no matching function for call to ‘sd_ble_gap_disconnect’
Error nrf_sdm.h: No such file or directoryHi these are the screenshot when using the version 14.2 (where I could not see the softdevice check box option) and the version 13.3 where the softdevice check box availableble for me
Hi, I know it is an old thread, but I am facing the same issue, unable to flash or debug my device, but I am able to build my project
Device: nR52
