Compiling on Windows

To compile this code, you will need to install the nRF Connect SDK from Nordic Semiconductor.

The Thingy:91 has two chips on it: the nRF9160, and the nRF52840.
This means that source code has to be developed for each chip and compiled independently.

Compiling the Thingy91:nRF52840 Code

Steps to compile:

1. cd traffic_light_nrf52840
2. Set the ZEPHYR_BASE environment variable
   • On Windows this is: set ZEPHYR_BASE=E:\nRF_SDK_ncs\v2.1.0\zephyr
   • On Linux: ZEPHYR_BASE=<your-nrf-install-location>/v2.1.0/zephyr
3. cmake CMakeLists.txt -Bbuild -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=E:\nRF_SDK_ncs\toolchains\v2.1.0 -DBOARD=thingy91_nrf52840 -GNinja
4. cd build
5. ninja

On a Windows system, you will need to make sure that CMake and Ninja are both on your PATH environment variable.

Compiling the Thingy91:nRF9160 Code

Steps to compile:

1. cd traffic_light_nrf9160
2. Set the ZEPHYR_BASE environment variable
   • On Windows this is: set ZEPHYR_BASE=E:\nRF_SDK_ncs\v2.1.0\zephyr
   • On Linux: ZEPHYR_BASE=<your-nrf-install-location>/v2.1.0/zephyr
3. cmake CMakeLists.txt -Bbuild -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=E:\nRF_SDK_ncs\toolchains\v2.1.0 -DBOARD=thingy91_nrf9160_ns -GNinja
4. cd build
5. ninja

On a Windows system, you will need to make sure that CMake and Ninja are both on your PATH environment variable.
