Fail to build a copy of nRF5340 example audio application

[Dekel]

Hi,

I own an nRF5340 Audio DK, on which I successfully run the example audio application.

Using nRF extension for VSCode, I've created a new application based on the above example, which is saved in a path outside the SDK. When I try to build it using the "buildproj" script, I get the following error:

I'll mention that this process worked fine for other examples, such as blinky and hello world.

I'd appreciate your help with solving this.

Thanks,

Dekel

Hi Dekel, 

On the page you linked to, which application did you use?

Where did you run builprog.py script from?

Could you provide your build command?

Best regards,

Hi Dejan,

I use the broadcast application, which is built & flashed for both gateway and headset units through the builprog.py script.

I use the following line to run the script, which ultimately runs the build command (which is provided by Nordic):

python buildprog.py -c both -b debug -d both -p --ctlr="SDC" --recover_on_fail --pristine

Hi,

Have you tried to open your command line window from the Toolchain Manager?

Additionally, you could try to run the sample inside your nrf repository.

That works just fine, but I'd like to leave the SDK clean and do my modifications outside of it.

I actually use a batch file, which works fine when running the example code from within the SDK folder. Do you think it can make a change?

Hi,

You should be able to build the sample using west build command. Building with VS Code should work as well if you use the newest NCS version. You could try to run west directly instead of using your batch file. For build command to be recognized, you can try to run it from command window which you open from the Toolchain Manager.

Best regards,

I'll share the solution I've found:

- I simply copied the audio example code to the desired folder on my PC, just like with any other example code.

- Instead of using the buildproj script, I build & flash through nRF Extension for VSCode. The build configuration is set for the cpuapp and I set the device as gateway/headset by adding CONFIG_AUDIO_DEV to prj.conf and set it to 2/1 accordingly.
