Building a Connect SDK v1.9 project

[Adamcs]

Hello,

I am working on a project which was previously developed by another person, and am struggling to setup the development environment. The project was built on nRF Connect SDK v1.9, and I need to be able to recompile the firmware as-is due to time constraints preventing a migration to v3 at the moment.

After getting past some initial hurdles, I'm currently stuck with a device tree error.

Here is the build output:

west build -b nrf9160dk/nrf9160/ns -d c:\wm2build --  -DOVERLAY_CONFIG="config/overlay-debug.conf" -DCONFIG_MCUBOOT_IMAGE_VERSION=\"0.3.0+1\" -DPM_STATIC_YML_FILE=pm_static_debug.yml

The error mentions "C:/wm2build/zephyr/zephyr.dts.pre" and "C:/wm2/zephyr/dts/bindings\i2c\nordic,nrf-twim.yaml", but should I even be going in and touching those Zephyr files to begin with? I'm not sure what the proper solution would be for this.

The overall process has been like so:
-git clone ...
-cd ...
-west init
-west update
-run west build

Has anyone seen a similar issue to this, and be able to advise on how I should proceed?

Thank you

Okay it looks like I may have not properly set things up originally, I never specified v1.9.0 when issuing west init. I've tried changing the procedure as follows, and I no longer get early device tree overlay errors, but unfortunately still fails to build.

0. clone project repo/copy sample to c:\test
1. make c:\west
2. cd c:\west
3. west init -m https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf --mr v1.9.0
4. west update
5. west build -b nrf9160dk_nrf9160_ns -s c:\test --pristine

I've attached a minimal complete reproducible project if someone else can test out the procedure as well. I used the hello-world sample as a basis, and then modified main.c to add some calls to DEVICE_DT_GET(...). When I test trying to get "sw0", I have no issues building. When I test trying to get "lis3mdl" then there are a bunch of warnings and errors (see output.txt).

based on the overlay you posted:

&i2c2 {
	compatible = "nordic,nrf-twim";
	#address-cells = < 0x1 >;
	#size-cells = < 0x0 >;
	reg = < 0xa000 0x1000 >;
	clock-frequency = < 0x61a80 >;
	interrupts = < 0xa 0x1 >;
	status = "okay";
	label = "I2C_2";
	sda-pin = < 0x1e >;
	scl-pin = < 0x1f >;

	lis3mdl: lis3mdl@1e {
		compatible = "st,lis3mdl";
		reg = <0x1e>;
		label = "LIS3MDL";
        irq-gpios = <&gpio0 20 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
	};
};

I think you should do:
const struct device *mag = DEVICE_DT_GET(DT_NODELABEL(lis3mdl));

That's what I have in main.c from the test project I attached in my follow up post. The build output spits out quite a bit, but it seems to stem from this specific error earlier in the process.
