NRF_DESKTOP prj_keyboard.conf configuration not compiling with nrf52840 Dongle

[melt]

Hi There

I am getting the following error when porting my code to the PCA10059, using the nrf_desktop prj_keyboard.conf configuration.

if someone can assist why it cant find " No such file or directory: b0_CONF_FILE: ''

It compiles fine with when the 52840DK is selected

thank you in advance

Hi,

 

It looks like cmake is unable to pick up the "B0" configuration file (which is in ../configuration/nrf52840dongle_nrf52840/child_image/b0/prj.conf). Could this be a problem with the overall path length of your project?

 

Can you try to move it to a shorter path and see if CMake is able to pick up the variable correctly then?

 

Kind regards,

Håkon

HI Hakon, I dont think so, it works if I select the nrf52840DK.

It also works fine if I chose the normal prj.conf file.

Its only the combination of PCA10059 dongle and keyboard.conf that gives me that error

[Håkon Alseth]

Hi,

 

Can you share how you configure the project?

Either a screenshot of the vscode configuration window and/or the west build command echoed in the terminal?

 

Kind regards,

Håkon

Not sure exactly what you need here but here is the prj_keyboard.conf file. I have not changed it from original example,

Good Morning, After some more testing over the weekend. I loaded the DK build of keyboard.conf on the dongle. It does get picked up as an HID by a PC and so does the bluetooth, which tells me the program is running.

As soon as I try to change the GPIO to my Dongle pins the program stops. I do find it strange that the example does not work out the box on the dongle.

Hi,

 

The nrf52840dongle_nrf52840 board is not setup to have keyboard functionality, but rather function only as a usb receiver, which means it does not have all the external setup (matrix, leds, etc) compared to nrf52840dk_nrf52840.

 

I am able to reproduce this error:

No such file or directory: b0_CONF_FILE: ''

And it can be resolved by manually adding b0_CONF_FILE:

 

However, you will run into more issues, due to mismatch in the board setup on nrf52840dk_nrf52840 vs. nrf52840dongle_nrf52840.

It might be easier if you add usb to the nrf52840dk_nrf52840 target instead.

 

Kind regards,

Håkon

The DK has USB functionality that why I loaded the "working" DK build and code on a dongle and both USB and BLE HID works. But cant choose my GPIO accordingly.

If I am to take the dongle schematics and change the GPIO to match the pins im using in the DK code, would that work? Im trying to avoid manufacturing my own PCB but if I have to I will.

I can confirm that loading the DK build of the keyboard.conf works on the dongle. Just remap the GPIOs. I ended up using the GPIOs at the bottom of the dongle.
