Error Opening Asset Tracker Project on pca20035 board

[Stefano]

Hi everyone, I successfully followed all the steps of the Getting Started Assistant on Windows 10 x64, but I am unable to open the Asset Tracker project because of some errors (see attachments).

This is the output:

I changed the "hub==2.0" line to "git-spindle==2.0" in the "requirements.txt" file located in "...\ncs\zephyr\scripts\" as listed here https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/51051/nrf-connect-sdk-install-issue-hub-2-0-not-found-leading-to-build-errors .

GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain is version "7 2018-q2-update".

I used ncs tag "v1.0.0".

If I select nrf9160_pca10090 board it all goes well, but I have to use nrf9160_pca20035 because I have a Thingy:91.

What's going wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Hi.

The Thingy:91 is not supported in ncs tag v1.0.0, could you try with master?

Also, I think you might have to build with command line in master, as SES has some issues with that at the moment.

Best regards,

Andreas

Thanks for the quick reply,

I'm new to the command line build system so some of the following questions may be obvious ones.

I can build the example zephyr project fine with the nrf9160_pca10090ns board but when i try and use the nrf9160_pca20035_v0_3_0ns board i get the following errors.

1) device tree error: unknown 'status' value "ok"

I fixed this by renaming all 'ok' to 'okay' in the dts files

2) devicetree error: 'tx-pin' is marked as required in 'properties:' in /Nordic/ncs/zephyr/dts/bindings/serial/nordic,nrf-uarte.yaml, but does not appear in <Node /soc/peripheral@40000000/uart@a000 in 'nrf9160_pca20035_v0_3_0ns.dts.pre.tmp'

it appears like the uart2 pins are not defined in the dts files. There is this message in the file about the uart2. "UART2 must be enabled for defines to be available for secure partition manager.". Is there a reference for which pins this uart2 should sit on?

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Matt.

Which branch are you using? The master branch?

Best regards,

Andreas

[Matthew_Travers]

Hi Andreas,

I had checked out the master but hadn't copied the new board files in to the zephyr directory and therefore it was building with the old board files. I have now been able to build and flash the blinky test application on to the board. I will try again with the Nordic examples.

Thanks,

Matt

Thank you for the answers, I'll check this out and let you know!
