example lte_ble_gate failed on nRF9160

[Surya09]

Hello,

I am trying to build the lte_ble_gate example from "ncs\v2.5.2\nrf\samples\cellular\lte_ble_gateway" for nRF9160.

I haven't made any changes but the example failed to build. 

This is the error that I get:

It gives me undefined reference to __device_dts_ord_118. 

I found similar issue in the forum, but with pristine build it got resolved in their case but in my case it doesn't work.

I would greatly appreciate some help!

Hi!

What board target did you build for? nrf9160dk_nrf9160_ns or something else?

Thanks for reply. 

I build it for nrf9160dk_nrf9160_ns as I will be using it for nRF9160 dk board.

Try adding the revision of the DK you have in the Revision field. example:

Adding the revision filed gives different error but it is also related to device tree:

Also, the same happens with many other example such as hci_lpuart. The error is also related to device tree. 

I looked zephyr  and followed the approach but didn't find any issue. 

I compiled with other SDK and toolchain it work of some example but other failed.

See this guide on how to debug these kinds of erros: https://blog.golioth.io/zephyr-devicetree-troubleshooting-generated-files/

Maybe you have made some changes the nRF9160-DK boards files, that is now affecting these samples.
