Connect SDK: check_init_priorities.py: ValueError: ERROR: device 56 (/soc/spi@40003000) already defined

Hi

When building (or to be precise, after building the binary) my project with a custom board i get:

Traceback (most recent call last):

My application need to act as an spi slave

Hi,

Can you zip up and upload the full board files? 

Do you have any overlay files in your project that is included?

Please also post the full build log output. The error indicates that spi0 node is defined more than once.

Best regards,
Jørgen

Hi,

I can't see anything standing out in your board files.

Since the error does not occur until after build, it could be something in the linking that causes this.

I noticed in your build log that a SPI library for FEM control of nRF21540 (libmpsl_fem_nrf21540_gpio_spi.a Is this used and enabled in your application?

Have you tried building other samples for your boards, and do you see the same error then?

Best regards,
Jørgen

Hi Jørgen

Thanks for your help! It seems the clean process did not clean all object files in the build directory which got picked up by the check_init_priorities.py script. Removing them solved the problem...  (I didn't expect the sript to 'simply' scan object files...)

Regards
