CMake error when when trying to change FEM and coded PHY settings for BT Mesh (Light and Light_Switch example)

[David_Goot]

So when changing the hci_icp.conf settings to have the configuration below, i get "CMake Error at C:/ncs/v2.6.1/zephyr/cmake/modules/kconfig.cmake:358 (message):" plus the warnings for said configuration settings. Using the nordic nRF5340-DK, with v2.6.1 SDK. the only modification we've made to the example code is to have Light_Switch blink continusouly without the push of a button so that we can do range testing without needing someone standing with the light_switch.

Hi Don, will use the configurations change you used and test this out myself today.

Just some quick observations though, you cannot use CodedPhy with Mesh as this is not allowed in BLE Mesh specifications. You cannot get the product qualified with Mesh and Coded Phy even though you somehow find a way to make it work.
