Thingy53 Wifi Station build configuration Issue

[lunchbarker17]

Hello,

I am building the existing WIFI station app for the Thingy53 with the nRF 7002EB board - sample code: nrf/samples/wifi/sta

In the CMakeLists.txt file, the line CONFIG_WIFI_READY_LIB=y is throwing me the error: attempt to assign the value 'y' to the undefined symbol WIFI_READY_LIB

 

I have tried to build the application with toolchain v2.6.0 and v2.7.0, with the board target being thingy53_nrf5340_cpuapp and thingy53_nrf5340_cpuapp_ns, adding the additional CMake argument of -DSHIELD=nrf7002eb to to configuration.

All of these options have resulted in the Fatal error.

How do I get the config_wifi_ready_lib to integrate in my workspace?

Thank you,

Jon

Hi,

 

With sysbuild enabled, one has to add the image name, ie. -DstaSHIELD=nrf7002eb.

It is then easier to set this in your CMakeLists.txt:

#
# Copyright (c) 2022 Nordic Semiconductor ASA
#
# SPDX-License-Identifier: LicenseRef-Nordic-5-Clause
#

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.20.0)
set(SHIELD nrf7002eb)
...rest of file

Could you try this and see if that works?

 

Kind regards,

Håkon

Hey there Hakon,

I was not building with sysbuild enabled, so I tried the following variations, all of which had varying errors:

• With Sysbuild enabled and the set(SHIELD nrf7002eb) included the following error happened - attempt to assign the value 'y' to the undefined symbol WIFI_NRF700X in the sysbuild.conf
• Without sysbuild enabled, and the set(SHIELD nrf7002eb) included, we run into the same error as listed above where the wifi ready lib is not being found.

Thank you,

Jon

Hi Jon,

 

This is the build cmd that vscode emits when I set the SHIELD in CMakeLists:

west build --build-dir /opt/ncs/nrf/samples/wifi/sta/build /opt/ncs/nrf/samples/wifi/sta --pristine --board thingy53/nrf5340/cpuapp --sysbuild

And this is without setting it in CMakeLists.txt, and instead add it as a parameter:

west build --build-dir /opt/ncs/nrf/samples/wifi/sta/build_1 /opt/ncs/nrf/samples/wifi/sta --pristine --board thingy53/nrf5340/cpuapp --sysbuild -- -Dsta_SHIELD=nrf7002eb

 

Where did you place the set(SHIELD line in your CMakeLists.txt file? It is crucial that it is placed before this line:

find_package(Zephyr REQUIRED HINTS $ENV{ZEPHYR_BASE})

 

Kind regards,

Håkon

Hi Hakon,

The set(Shield) line was place directly after the cmake_minimum and before the find package, sadly. The error is still occurring

What I noticed was different, was the build target. My SDK is targeting the following - would this create a discrepancy?

Thanks Hakon,

Jon

Hi,

 

Can you share your full cmake configuration + build log? Are you building for NCS v2.7.0 or v2.6.2?

The WIFI_READY_LIB was not present in v2.6.1 (and older), so that might explain why you are still seeing this issue.

 

Kind regards,

Håkon
