Configuring my custom board throws errors

[greenleaf]

I created a custom board and tried experimenting by changing the following:

prj.conf

CONFIG_UART_INTERRUPT_DRIVEN=y
CONFIG_SERIAL=y
CONFIG_GPIO=y
CONFIG_PWM=y

# Make sure printk is not printing to the UART console
CONFIG_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_UART_CONSOLE=y

CONFIG_HEAP_MEM_POOL_SIZE=2048
CONFIG_MAIN_THREAD_PRIORITY=7

CONFIG_ZIGBEE=y
CONFIG_ZIGBEE_APP_UTILS=y
CONFIG_ZIGBEE_ROLE_ROUTER=y

# Enable DK LED and Buttons library
CONFIG_DK_LIBRARY=y

# This example requires more workqueue stack
CONFIG_SYSTEM_WORKQUEUE_STACK_SIZE=2048

# Enable nRF ECB driver
CONFIG_CRYPTO=y
CONFIG_CRYPTO_NRF_ECB=y
CONFIG_CRYPTO_INIT_PRIORITY=80

# Networking
CONFIG_NET_IPV6=n
CONFIG_NET_IP_ADDR_CHECK=n
CONFIG_NET_UDP=n

# Scene extension
CONFIG_ZIGBEE_SCENES=y

customboard_defconf

# Enable MPU
CONFIG_ARM_MPU=y

# Enable hardware stack protection
CONFIG_HW_STACK_PROTECTION=y

# Enable RTT
CONFIG_USE_SEGGER_RTT=y

# enable GPIO
CONFIG_GPIO=y

# enable uart driver
CONFIG_SERIAL=y

# enable console
CONFIG_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_UART_CONSOLE=y

CONFIG_PINCTRL=y

Now when trying to build again I get:

The error you provided in your latest message is directly tied to the fact that the CMakeLists.txt file didn't include the following:

CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt:
No cmake_minimum_required command is present. A line of code such as

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.21)

should be added at the top of the file. The version specified may be lower
if you wish to support older CMake versions for this project. For more
information run "cmake --help-policy CMP0000".
This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

I cannot see what application sample/example you tried to build that gave you the above error but I would feel fairly confident that cmake errors you provided in the latest message are directly tied to the above given the wording of the error and the files if you go through the call list.

I have one project and two boards: a custom board and a dk. For the custom board I do not get the error. For the nrf5340dk board (only an overlay in my project) I do get the error. They are both using the same CMakeLists.txt file. This is my CMakeLists.txt:

# SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.20.0)

find_package(Zephyr REQUIRED HINTS $ENV{ZEPHYR_BASE})
project(display_hello_world)

target_sources(app PRIVATE src/main.c)

[jm_solar]

The CMakeFile at the root in fact has "cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.20)" at the top of it while getting this error (before where find package is called).

[Jennifer Gibbs]

Are you able to share the build output for the 'display_hello_world' project using the nRF5340dk as the board target? Please include the build command as well, if possible.
