How to specify BOARD from other than command line in NCS2.8.0

[loquat]

I work NCS2.8.0.

In NCS2.6.0, there was no problem if I put the BOARD settings in CMakeLists.txt and ran "west build".

However, in NCS2.8.0, an error occurs. (undefined BOARD)

I want to write the BOARD settings in a file and keep them. Please tell me how to set the BOARD from a source other than the command line.

Hi!

This should still be possible, https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/develop/application/index.html#application-cmakelists-txt

What board are you using?

Is this an example of putting
set(BOARD qemu_x86)
at the beginning of CMakeLists.txt?
This works fine, but I still need to specify the board with
west build -b qemu_x86.
My concern is that it's redundant to specify both the board name in west and the board name in set.
Is there a way to build by just specifying BOARD in CMakeLists.txt, as was possible with ncs2.6.0?

Answered in your other post here:The BOARD variable is not defined at the top of CmakeLists.txt on ncs2.8.0   , so I will close this here(Case ID 336220)
