As mentioned, it was not present in ncs v2.4.x.

You can manually include a header file, for instance. Or look at CMake functions:

Hi Håkon Alseth thanks for the information.

I did try the steps you have mentioned in ncs V2.4.1 but I got the same error again. If this feature is not supported on V2.4.1 then what would be an alternate way to include a versioning system in my firmware?

Hi,

This was a feature added in zephyr v3.5 (ncs v2.5 and newer). It is not present in ncs v2.4.1.

1. Create the my_project/VERSION file, containing something like this:

VERSION_MAJOR = 1
VERSION_MINOR = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 3
VERSION_TWEAK = 4
EXTRAVERSION = unstable

2. Include app_version.h in your project, for instance in main.c

3. configure your project (ie. add a new build)

If you configure your project, then add the VERSION file, it will not be picked up by CMake/build system, so it is important that you re-generate your project.

Kind regards,

Håkon
