Create a new board problem(s) in nRF Connect SDK v2.8.0

Ken58

Hi,

I am using the Create a new board function to specify a simple nRF52840 based board with GPIOs using nRF Connect SDK v2.8.0.  No matter how I answer the questions in the function, something will error in either file naming, file location, or build configuration.  I suspect this is related to changes in v2.8.0.  Can you provide an example of answers for the wizard's questions that produce a working build configuration (human readable name, machine readable board id, etc.)?

Thanks,

Ken

    Hi Ken,

    Where does the error happen? During the wizard or when using the added board as a build target? Please share error logs if you get any.

    Can you provide an example of answers for the wizard's questions that produce a working build configuration (human readable name, machine readable board id, etc.)?

    There are some more details on the "Create a new board" functionality here in the documentation for the nRF Connect for VS Code extension.

    Do you have the newest version of the extension? At time of writing the newest release is v2024.11.75. Please update if you have an older version.

    I am not aware of any changes introduced with nRF Connect SDK v2.8.0 which should cause issues, but the update to Zephyr's Hardware Model v2 in v2.7.0 could be the cause for some trouble. Have you successfully added your custom board with the extension for earlier nRF Connect SDK version? Please let me know which if you have.

    If hardware model v2 is the cause for the issues, you should refer to the Board porting guide.

    Best regards,

    Hi Maria,

    I updated to version v2024.12.55 of the extension and this is a huge improvement.  Most if not all remaining issues are related to the HW configuration need in Devicetree.  (this is the first time it is being defined)  I have collected all the logs so I can compare my custom board build with builds for the nRF52840 DK and nRF52840 Dongle.  I will let you know if I am unable to correct remaining issues.

    Thank you,

    Ken

    Creating new board not work for me also. I'm using plugin version v2024.12.55 and for me it is not working fully. I can input Human Readable name, Board ID name and then I have empty list of SDKs and I cannot select anything. I have installed 2 SDKs and I was even trying to input v2.8.0 manually
