Error building the (new) Serial Modem

[gterrell]

When following through the process described on GitHub for the NCS_SERIAL_MODEM I get an error during the build. I am following the steps described in the readme exactly as indicated.

https://github.com/nrfconnect/ncs-serial-modem

Error message is...

C:/GTdev/Nordic/serial_modem/project/app/build/mcuboot/zephyr/.config.sysbuild:38: warning: attempt to assign the value 'n' to the undefined symbol BOOT_RAM_LOAD_REVERTLoaded configuration 'C:/ncs/v3.1.1/zephyr/boards/nordic/nrf9151dk/nrf9151dk_nrf9151_defconfig'

I know this is early code, but since Serial LTE Modem is slated for EOL I wanted to move forward with my testing.

Thank you,

Greg

Hi Greg,

I have tested building serial_modem sample and build succeeded. Before running "west build" command, you can try to open the terminal in NCS v3.1.0 using nrfutil

nrfutil sdk-manager toolchain launch --ncs-version v3.1.0 --terminal

Best regards,
Dejan

I tried launching the external terminal as you describe without sucssess.

The target I am attempting to build for is the nr9151DK. When drilling down in the project files I see .conf for the thingy91x and the nrf9161DK, but no .conf or .overlay files corresponding to the nrf9151DK.

Hi Greg,

Which project files have you looked into? What have you observed exactly? Can you elaborate on this?

Best regards,
Dejan

[gterrell]

I didn't note the directory for sure, but I believe it was C:\ncs\v3.1.0\bootloader\mcuboot\boot\zephyr\boards

I drilled into that folder structure since it was referenced just before the error

Hi,

nrf9151-dk board.dts should be correctly found during build in serial_modem\zephyr\boards\nordic\nrf9151dk folder.

Can you try to choose NCS v3.2.0-preview2 and Toolchain v3.1.0?
I have tested building serial_modem with this build configuration successfully.

Best regards,
Dejan

[gterrell]

Since my last message, I deleted my workspace and recreated the steps listed in the readme. In a fresh 3.1.0 environment the build succeeds. Possibly the first environment might have had an initial reference to 3.1.1. 

Please go ahead and close this ticket.
