some software issue during the development

[Watts]

Hi, guys. I encountered some software issues while using VS Code for development on the nRF5340 DK. During the build configuration, the code reports an error saying it cannot find the board. I’ve checked that both Python and West are properly installed and added to the system environment path, so the setup should be correct. The error appears on line 196 of the boards.cmake file. The SDK is v2.9.1 and also the toolchain is v2.9.1.

At the same time, I ran into a problem with a software called SFXWiz32-gcc, which gives an “insufficient memory” error during execution. I’ve confirmed that my system has enough memory, and I’ve also configured virtual memory. My computer is running Windows 11, and based on my checks, this software is supposed to work on a 64-bit system. However, the issue persists. I also tried manually extracting the file using tools like 7-Zip, but access to the file is denied.

Are these two problems related? Has anyone encountered similar issues and found a solution? I greatly appreciate any guidance or help. Thank you.

Hi Watts, 
I don't think the issue you are seeing SFXWiz32-gcc would be related to us. Please check if you have sufficient space on the HardDrive or in the RAM. 

Please post the error log when you build the application for  nRF5340 DK. Double check if you have written the board name correctly, for example: nrf5340dk/nrf5340/cpuapp

Hi, thank you for your reply. I try to write the code in CMakeLists.txt like: set ( BOARD nrf5340dk_nrf5340)

but it doesn't work, maybe I write the wrong code? Here are some information about the error below:

[{
"resource": "/c:/ncs/v2.9.1/zephyr/cmake/modules/boards.cmake",
"owner": "nrf-connect",
"severity": 8,
"message": "CMake Error at C:/ncs/v2.9.1/zephyr/cmake/modules/boards.cmake:196 (message):",
"source": "cmake",
"startLineNumber": 196,
"startColumn": 1,
"endLineNumber": 196,
"endColumn": 2147483647
}]

message(FATAL_ERROR "Error finding board: ${BOARD}\nError message: ${err_board}")

Maybe I ask something very simple and I am sorry about that :( .

Hi, 
I'm not sure setting the board in CMakelists.txt is the way to go. Which guide are you following ? 
What are you trying to achieve? Have you checked out our Dev Academy guide ?

I will check this guide and try to fix the problem first.  Thank you for your help.
