Hi Sterling, BTW Thanks for the quick response.
agraves@agravesLNXPV3997:~/dev/go/src/mynewt.apache.org/newt/newt$ git status On branch master Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'. nothing to commit, working directory clean agraves@agravesLNXPV3997:~/dev/go/src/mynewt.apache.org/newt/newt$ go version go version go1.6.2 linux/386 It looks like my go version is a bit behind yours. Might that be a problem?

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.
