nrf_sco.h not found

[Lithimlin]

I've been trying to piece together this "library" together with the mbed-os library and the dal library and have now run into an error: "MicroBit/MicroBit.cpp:41:21: fatal error: nrf_soc.h: No such file or directory" I've been correcting paths for the last hour but I cannot find this file anywhere in neither the mbed-os nor the dal libraries. Is this a typo or where can I get this file from?

@Lithimlin microbit-dal runs on mbed classic 2.0, not mbed OS.

https://github.com/lancaster-university/nrf51-sdk/blob/master/source/nordic_sdk/components/softdevice/s130/headers/nrf_soc.h is where that file is located.

[Lithimlin]

Ah, thank you.

[jamesadevine]

P.S. if your goal is to run mbed-os on microbit, I'd advise that you look at the RAM usage beforehand, especially if you also want to use BLE. Last time we checked, RAM usage was higher than mbed-classic, which leaves very little space for user apps.

[Lithimlin]

My plan as of now is only to be able to use the MicroBit library. Since the README did not specify what else would be needed besides the microbit-dal, I did a google search for one of the missing files and ended up in the mbed-os library. If you would be so kind to explain how to set up this library correctly, I'd be more than happy to just do that.

If you install yotta, all the dependencies will be managed for you.

┗━ microbit 2.0.0-rc9
  ┗━ microbit-dal 2.0.0-rc9 yotta_modules/microbit-dal
    ┣━ mbed-classic 0.0.4 yotta_modules/mbed-classic
    ┣━ ble 2.5.0 yotta_modules/ble
    ┣━ ble-nrf51822 2.5.0 yotta_modules/ble-nrf51822
    ┗━ nrf51-sdk 2.2.0 yotta_modules/nrf51-sdk

These modules are all available from https://github.com/lancaster-university

I don't have to be using mbed together with yotta though, right? It just helps me install all the modules needed and I could use any IDE of my choice?

[jamesadevine]

@Lithimlin yotta is simply a wrapper around your command line compiler that handles software dependencies, and the compilation of those dependencies. It is offline, so yes, you can use your own editor for writing code.

Alright. Thank you very much.
