How to disable sensor_sim task?

[JVantol]

I can't seem to find the right configuration item to set to disable the spinning up of the sensor_sim task, which I have no need of in my application.

I've tried setting CONFIG_SENSOR_SIM=n in prj.conf, but something else in the build changes it to y.

I don't understand the config part of the build well enough to figure out how this is happening. Could someone help me figure this one out?

Hi,

 

The "motion" part is setup to select either simulated or real accelerometer, unfortunately. There's no current option to fully remove it (you can disable it in your firmware: https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf/blob/master/applications/asset_tracker/src/main.c#L1682-L1685).

It will force "select" the symbol, regardless of what you try to set as the kconfig entries are setup as of ncs v1.3.0, and if you remove it with force; you get tangled in with the temp_sensor (TEMP_USE_SIM).

 

I agree that this is unfortunate for applications that do not use these things, so I'll input a feature request internally to make this more configurable.

 

Kind regards,

Håkon
