BL654 nftBlinky example doesn't build with sysbuild

Darren L

Hi

I have a project developed on the nrf52840dk / nrf52840 dongle and am trying to build it for the Laird BL654 dongle. The build fails due to a missing 'runners.yaml' file.

If I take the nrfBlinky example and try to build that for the bl654_usb/nrf52840 target it gives the same build failure.

CMake Error at /opt/nordic/ncs/v2.9.1/nrf/cmake/sysbuild/partition_manager.cmake:338 (file):
file STRINGS file
"/Users/darren/projects/nrfBlinky/build/nrfBlinky/zephyr/runners.yaml"

A non-sysbuild build does work, but I need to use sysbuild as will be including mcuboot. I have tried with sdk/toolchain 2.9.0 and 2.9.1.

I suspect the problem is in the sdk (nordic/ncs/v2.9.0/zephyr/boards/ezurio/bl654_usb) but I'm at a loss as to how to fix it as I'm fairly new to nrfconnect.

Thanks for any help !

    Thanks for looking into it Andreas.

    The build log for Blinky is below. In the meantime, I figured out how to get my project, when built for nrf52840dongle, working on the BL654 USB dongle anyway (it was getting stuck in mcuboot due to a port pin). As such, I don't need to build for BL654 specifically any more and can just use the nrf52840dongle builds.

    Yes, I found lesson 8 very useful as in introduction to sysbuild but it doesn't address this particular issue as far as I can see. I'd be interested to know why the build fails for BL654 but I can move forward anyway so no worries if you have better things to do !

    Thanks,
    Darren.

    Happy to help!

    I'm not quite sure what could be the rootcause of the error but it seems to be similar to issues which are caused by either

    • The folder still being present (pristine build is not as pristine as one would think. I recommend to instead always delete the build folder if you've made configurations)
    • The board is not being found and/or there are something missing in the board files that the sample depends upon

    It's hard to say, but if you're able to keep going with the nRF52840dongle instead then I suggest we keep the BL module on the back burner for now

    Kind regards,
    Andreas
