nRF52840 dong: Zigbee Light Switch example not building

[nandinee]

Hello, 

I am trying to build the Zigbee Light Switch example in nRF Connect for VS Code, however the application is exiting the build process and displaying the following in the terminal. How do I fix this so that it builds correctly?

I am attaching a screenshot of the build configurations. I am choosing the nRF52840_nRF52840dongle Kconfig fragment when building. 

Thank you!

Hello

The sample does not support the board for which you are compiling.

Please visit this page for more information about the sample.

Hi, thank you for the reply!

I just wanted to ask why Kconfig fragments for the dongle are included if it is unsupported? Also, is there anyway I could modify the code so it would run on the dongle, or similarly create a Zigbee Light Switch on the dongle?

Thank you!

As this sample is not supported for the dongle, there are no kconfig fragments for the dongle in this project.

Maybe you are seeing because you chose to select dongle from the board, which is not one of the compatible boards.

Also, as the dongle has nrf52840 SoC, it must be able to do whatever SoC supports.

However, the DKs also have other peripherals which are not present on the dongle.

So, you must carefully adapt the code for the dongle if you run the project on the dongle.
