node '/soc/uart@40028000/fpreader@ffffffff' compatible 'zeantec,jm101' has unknown vendor prefix 'zeantec'

I followed Tutorial Mastering Zephyr Driver Development.

I opened the project in VSC: “Open existing project” and choose app/prj.conf.

(Did not user the WEST command line described on https://github.com/teslabs/zds-2022-drivers-app)

I get following compile error:

node '/soc/uart@40028000/fpreader@ffffffff' compatible 'zeantec,jm101' has unknown vendor prefix 'zeantec'

What is missing in the example or is it VSC?

Hi,

I get the same error as you if I do not use "west init". However, with "west init", it works.
So either west init fixes something here, or it is the fact that this sample uses vanilla zephyr rather than the nRF Connect SDK.

However, is there any specific reason why you want to run this sample?

We recently releaces a device driver tutorial over at https://academy.nordicsemi.com/courses/nrf-connect-sdk-intermediate/. Maybe that can be useful for you?

Also, we got this sample app which shows you how to make your own driver: https://github.com/nrfconnect/ncs-example-application
