Hi,

How to fix this compilation problem:

Hi Peter.Min,

Your build command is outdated. Please make sure that you are consulting the documentation with the same version as your NCS version.

NCS v2.6.0 introduced snippets for selecting different configurations for samples. For the co-processor sample the usb snippet is chosen by adding -S usb to the west build command or by selecting the usb snippet through the Build Configuration UI in the nRF Connect for VS Code extension. Also see the sample documentation for the NCS v2.7.0 version of the co-processor sample and the Using Snippets documentation for general usage instructions.

NCS v2.7.0 introduced a new hardware model, so the correct formatting for the board when building with the nRF52840 Dongle as the target is nrf52840dongle/nrf52840.

For a more detailed view on updates for each NCS version, please see the release notes(v2.7.0).

Best regards,

Maria
