  • [ABANDONED] build fails with embuild because of wrong arguments

    I am trying to build my nrf5 sdk v16 project in command line using embuild.exe but it fails with an error in step: Generating linker script 'projectName.ld' error: unknown option option -target
    I am using the following command:

    Shell-Script

    1. emBuild.exe blinky_pca10056.emProject -config "Debug" -verbose -rebuild

    using the option '-echo' in above command, I see following command being executed in the failed step:

    Shell-Script

    If mkld tool inside segger installation folder does not expect -target command option why is it being passed?

    I am using SES v4.12 (I have also tried, v4.18, v5.44, v5.68 wihout any success).

    The relevant ticket on nordic dev forum, just in case, can be found here.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for your inquiry.
    Please understand that we do not provide support for such old Embedded Studio versions as they are out of maintenance and thus support.

    Is the issue reproducible with the latest Embedded Studio version V7.12 as well?
    If yes could you provide an example project for reproduction with reproduction steps?

    Best regards,
    Nino
