How to use nrf-docker in Bitbucket pipeline

Thank you so much for this solution! I had to use a workaround to pull a docker image separately and then execute "docker run west build" on it. But your solution makes it possible to avoid using docker within docker on each step which shorten my build time from 12 to 3 minutes!

I found the solution.

I need to make the file launch_tool.sh:

#!/bin/bash

# Checking whether an argument has been passed
if [ "$#" -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "You must provide at least one command to execute."
    exit 1
fi

# Passing the command to nrfutil toolchain-manager launch
nrfutil toolchain-manager launch -- /bin/bash -c "$*"

And the step definition

    - step: &build_for_nrf52840dk_faster
        name: 'Build for nrf52840dk board'
        image: nordicplayground/nrfconnect-sdk:v2.7-branch
        runs-on:
          - linux
        script:
          - HW_VERSION="0.0.0"
          - source /workdir/zephyr/zephyr-env.sh # make visible west build
          - chmod +x launch_tool.sh              # make launch_tool.sh executable
          - ./launch_tool.sh west --version      # check west version
          - ./launch_tool.sh west build
            --pristine=always
            --board nrf52840dk/nrf52840
            --build-dir ${PWD}/build
            --
            -DBOARD_ROOT=${PWD}
            -DCONF_FILE=${PWD}/prj.conf
          - mv build/zephyr/zephyr.hex nrf52840dk_v${HW_VERSION}.hex

Hi,

The problem might be that github action does not respect the entry point as noted here

You should try to run nrfutil toolchain-managerexplicitly (like here).

At tech support we don't normally interact to much with automatic build systems so I can't promise anything
