Hello, 

I'm stuck at the build step from teh IoT fundamentals course as when I try to build I get the next error:

It seems that the build needs two (samples/cellular/nrf91_crypto_partitions.dtsi or the .dtsi workaround files) which aren't on the dts folder. I've checked the folder and to my surprise the folder does not contain the sub-folders specified. 
I've tried to solve this problem with the AI assistant but the solutions were unsuccessful. 

Regards.

Hi,

I think you have pulled the latest course from GitHub. This latest version is for NCS v3.4.0. But you are building it with NCS v3.2.1.

You can either download NCS v3.4.0 though the VS Code extension, or download the correct branch (tagged v3.2.0) on GitHub (link) which I believe should work with v3.2.1.

After matching the project and the SDK version, you should be able to successfully build the application.

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simon, 
I pulled the course files from the link you have posted on your comment and still I get the same error. Here's a photo of the terminal output:


Is similar to the one before, it seems the nrf91_crypto_partitions.dtsi is missing on the c://ncs/v3.2.1/nrf/samples/cellular folder.

[Simon D-M]

Hi,

Can you try to pull it with "git clone github.com/.../cell-fund.git --branch v3.2.0"? I was only able to reproduce this error by pulling the "main" branch and building it with an older SDK.

This error is because there has been a major change in partition handling with NCS v3.4.0 so it is not compatible with older SDK.

If it still doesn't work, can you please send me the full logs, and maybe a screenshot from your build configuration ?

Best regards,

Simon

[Oriol0]

I have downloaded the v3.2.0 files but curretnly I'm doing also an exercise of nRF Connect Intermediate. When I have a moment I'll try to build again for the IoT exercise. 
Thank you.

[Simon D-M]

Sure, keep me updated if you try again !

Best regards,

Simon
