CCS/LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2: Project zero: cannot find file ble_r2.symbols lib_linker.cmd

I'm trying to get the project zero to work for this devkit. But on compilation, On building project_zero_cc2640r2lp_app I keep getting an error:

<Linking>
error #10008-D: cannot find file "C:/ti/workspace/project_zero_cc2640r2lp_stack_library/FlashROM_Library/ble_r2.symbols"
error #10008-D: cannot find file "C:/ti/workspace/project_zero_cc2640r2lp_stack_library/FlashROM_Library/lib_linker.cmd"

The reason for this failure when building project_zero_cc2640r2lp_app is that the project it is dependent on (project_zero_cc2640r2lp_stack_library) had build failures.

The project_zero_cc2640r2lp_stack_library is failing in the pre-build step. In one previous instance we have seen this happen when anti-virus blocks the lib_search executable from running. Are you running any anti-virus and if so, are you able to temporarily disable it and try again?

Also is your Windows 10 system 32-bit or 64-bit?

Hello AartiG,

thanks for the reply.

Disabling the antivirus doesn't solve the issue.

I'm using Windows 10 64-bit.

I've now noticed that there are a lot of /../../../ in the lines where lib_search is being called but I don't know where they are comming from.

Again, standard install of all components and immediate import of project_zero.

This is the content of the lib_search folder. Shouldn't there be some kind of .exe ?

Complete re-install of CCS (9.3.0.00012 - offline) and the SDK (SimpleLink CC2640R2 SDK - 3.30.00.20 - online) with the antivirus turned off still gives the same issue.

I suspect that the SDK v3.30 on Windows is shipping with the Linux version of the executable and not the Windows version. In an older version of the SDK for Windows, I do see lib_search.exe.

I see lib_search.exe in my SDK v3.30 installation. Not sure why it doesn't show up as a .exe in your installation.
Did you download the SDK using Resource Explorer?

Aarti, my directory for SDK v3.30 looks just like dizz's:

Yes I did.

Thanks Ki for verifying this.

All, 

The lib_search.exe shows up nice in my system. 

It may be an operating system issue. Check question 4 of the following FAQ:

https://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless-connectivity/bluetooth/f/538/t/770557  

Regards,

Rafael

It's weird, maybe they had the wrong file for a bit and then updated the SDK or something. 

I'm pretty sure that the lib_search file is the linux one, especially because on linux, the file isn't supposed to have any extension. I tried renaming it to stick .exe at the end and tried to run it. Windows complained it is not a valid application for this OS.

Can I just use the exe in the FAQ? I'm using a 64bit system and the exe is 32-bit.

Isn't this a bug in the SDK installer that should get fixed?

I'm using Windows 10-64 and that exe from the FAQ worked for me. I just dropped it in and the project zero example built successfully.

Thanks Ki, I'll test it tomorrow.

The lib_search installed from Resource Explorer version was the wrong version, ie no .exe extension.  The one from the web version was correct.
Looks like something is wrong in the ReX package and/or installation

Ah! That must be it. I installed from ReX.

Thanks you all!
