Hi Alan,
What go version are you using? Also, what branch is the mynewt source
that you’re trying to compile?
For me:
$ pwd
/Users/sterling/dev/go/src/mynewt.apache.org/newt/newt
$ git status
On branch develop
<snip>
$ go version
go version go1.7.4 darwin/amd64
$
We’ve dropped support in mynewt for the PDK, you need the full DK in
order to get it up and running. We have not yet supported the nRF52840
PDK, but the plan is for me to do it over the holidays, so early Jan we
should have something working. There are a couple of errata that need
to be copied over from the nordic DK, it doesn’t look like a huge job.
Best,
Sterling
ps: These are my parameters — but I’m doing development, don’t
worry if they differ from yours — I’ll try and reproduce with your
setup.

Hi dev,
For my environment I'm running Ubuntu 16.x in a VMWare environment
under Windows 7. I also have Go 1.6 installed and working.
The problem is that I've been trying to do a native Linux install of
newt and I get a strange Go? error, which unfortunately prevents some
executables from being build:

Unfortunately, Go is Greek to me, although it might be interesting to
figure out, I was hoping to simply test drive things on a nRF52832
Preview DK. On an aside do you know if anyone has tried using the
newly released BLE 5 nRF52840 Preview DK?
Any help getting my setup going would be appreciated.
Thanks,
ALan
