No board named 'nrf54l15pdk_nrf54l15_cpuapp' found.

[AntonL]

Hello,

I followed Getting started guide for the nRF54L15 PDK (Getting started with the nRF54L15 PDK (nordicsemi.com))  and bumped into a problem when i try to build "hello world" app.  I get the No board named 'nrf54l15pdk_nrf54l15_cpuapp' found. message. 

I have started with SDK version 2.6.9, but I have also  tried also SDK v2.7.0 and get exactly the same error.  The only difference from the guide is that it is written to checkout 2.6.99-cs1 but such branch doesn't exist. SO I have tried  "v2.6.99-cs2-branch" for the SDK v 2.6.9 and v2.7-brnach for SDK v 2.7.0.

The interesting thing is that I can see the nrf54l15pdk_nrf54l15_cpuapp_ns board if I run "west boards" on the "v2.6.99-cs2-branch" branch but no "nrf54l15...." boards on v2.7-branch".

I'll appreciate any hints.

Best Regards,
Anton

Hello Anton, 

The equivalent build target to nrf54l15pdk_nrf54l15_cpuapp in SDK v2.7.0 will be  nrf52840pdk/nrf54l15/cpuapp nrf54l15pdk/nrf54l15/cpuapp. 

The syntax change is due to the new HW model introduced in this SDK version. For more information about this change, please refer to the migration document: https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/releases_and_maturity/migration/migration_hwmv2.html 

Best regards,

Vidar

Hello Vidar,

Thank you for the hint and the link. However, if I  write "west build -b nrf52840pdk/nrf54l15/cpuapp" I get the same error message "No board named 'nrf52840pdk/nrf54l15/cpuapp' found."

However if just run "west boards" I can see the Nrf54L15 board 

This is for SDK v2.6.2 on the v2.6.99-ncs1-branch.

Best Regards,
Anton

[AntonL]

Thanks for the update but it is the same reuslt for me "No board named 'nrf54l15pdk/nrf54l15/cpuapp' found."

Could it be due to the wrong git branch? I have tried v2.7.0-ncs1-branch and several other v2.6.x-ncs1-brnach branches.

[Vidar Berg]

You should use the release tag 'v2.7.0'. You can change directory to 'nrf' in your SDK tree and run 'git describe' to ensure you are using this tag. If you are not on this tag, run 'git checkout v2.7.0' followed by 'west update'.

'west boards | grep nrf54l' should return 'nrf54l15pdk' if you are on the correct version.

[AntonL]

thank you for helping me out. 

If I check out tag v2.7.0ncs1 and then run "west update" and then "west build -b nrf54l15pdk/nrf54l15/cpuapp" from  C:\ncs\v2.7.0\zephyr\samples\hello_world I stil get the same error.

I wonder what I am doing wrong ....

[Vidar Berg]

The tag name is "v2.7.0". The log also shows that you are building with an older version of Zephyr (v3.3.99 instead of v3.6.99), which indicates that you may be building against a different SDK. 

Can you run 'west topdir' to see where your current west workspace is located?

[AntonL]

west topdir returns C:/ncs/v2.7.0 for me.





Thanks for pointing out the zephyr version, I installed it for 6 months ago for working with another board and thought that when I checkout git brancvh or tag than  Zephyr in ncs folder is used. I guess I need to updated my installation.

But how do you get the "v2.7.0" tag? my git tag -n command returns only following tags that start with v2.7.0 

v2.7.0-ncs1 sdk-zephyr v2.7.0-ncs1
v2.7.0-ncs1-rc1 sdk-zephyr v2.7.0-ncs1-rc1
v2.7.0-ncs1-rc2 sdk-zephyr v2.7.0-ncs1-rc2
v2.7.0-ncs1-snapshot1 sdk-zephyr v2.7.0-ncs1-snapshot1
v2.7.0-ncs1-snapshot2 sdk-zephyr 2.7.0-ncs1-snapshot2

[Vidar Berg]

In addition to running 'west topdir', please run 

$ west config --local -l

to list your current workspace configuration (or post the C:/ncs/v2.7.0/.west/config file). I want to make sure it sets the zephyr base to C:/ncs/v2.7.0/zephyr and not the other zephyr repo you had in c:/zephyr/

The reason you are not finding the "v2.7.0" tag is that you are not in the 'nrf' repo, but the 'zephyr' repo. The 'nrf' west manifest selects the "v3.6.99-ncs2" tag for Zephyr.  So the zephyr revision should become updated to "v3.6.99-ncs2" after you run 

$ west update

.

Here are the results from when I run these commands here if you want to compare:

Thank you Vidar for your help, I have updated the ZEPHYR_BASE environment variable to  point to zephyr folder under ncs folder (c:\ncs\v2.7.0\zephyr\) and checke out the v2.7.0 in the  c:\ncs\v2.7.0\ncs repo and that resolved my compilation issue. 

[Vidar Berg]

Thank you for the update. I wrongfully assumed that setting ZEPHYR_BASE to point to another zephyr folder would cause west to switch workspace. I'll remember this next time.
