nordic platform can't be compiled.
There is a error message as shown below. It will appear, when any Nordic platform is built on the newest mbed-src.
Error: #error directive: "Device family must be defined. See nrf.h." in "mbed-src/targets/cmsis/TARGET_NORDIC/TARGET_MCU_NRF51822/nrf.h", Line: 40, Col: 6
Why? Thanks

There's new mbed lib v97, I was able to compile nrf demos. I believe this is now fixed also with mbed-src. Can you retest?
Hi Martin,
There are some information for you. 1, import mbed-src, compile nrf.h error. 2, import mbed, compile nrf.h pass. 3, import mbed then convert to library, compile nrf.h error.
Hope these information can help you.
Thanks Marco
posted by 16 Apr 2015I cant comment on his answer, so here For Radu: Update all libraries to the newest one, I did and it compiles ;) At least with mbed library rev97, once I add mbed-src there's an error with Gpio IRQ
posted by 16 Apr 2015Ble Thermometer - update all librareies, so BLE_API is 341, mbed lib is 97, nrf lib is 111. Selected platform - nordic nrf51822 - compiles. Then I remove mbed lib, add mbed-src revs 514 - GPiO error, which I am going to report.
Guys, provide complete details, how can we reproduce it.

I can't reproduce the nrf51 error you are talking about. Share the program, all libraries revisions, platfrom you are compiling for, I'll give it a shot

I have just imported http://developer.mbed.org/teams/RedBearLab/code/BLENano_SimpleControls/?platform=RedBearLab-BLE-Nano Same problem

I had the same problem with RedBearLab BLE Nano. It worked good after the following process. 1. Import mbed-src library. 2. Remove the original mbed.bld file. 3. Change the revision of mbed-src to the past one. I have tried the first rev. of Feb. 2015 and it did work successfully.

I am having this problem too. Even with the Blinky or Ble_HeartRate Template I got same error.

Also having the same problem here in multiple projects using RedBearLab BLE Nano.

I to got the same issue while compiling mbed-src. I'm using offline arm-gcc compiler with a custom Makefile. I was able to fix the issue:

May be this is the workaround, not sure!
When below snippet code in nrf.h is commented, the compile is pass.
#error "Device family must be defined. See nrf.h."
Why? Thanks Marco
posted by Marco Hsu 15 Apr 2015I'm getting the same error on the Nordic nRF51-DK platform. Any suggestions on how to fix?

posted by Michael Dietz 16 Apr 2015Marco, did you get yours to work yet? If so, what solution did you use?
