Build application from main.c

[Alejandro Chavez]

Hi everyone!

I'm new using Nordic Semiconductor products, I have a Nordic Thingy 91  running Asset Tracker application by default.

I want to test only specific things first, this case I want to run this main.c file in order to toggle the NMOS pins.  

#include <zephyr.h>
#include <misc/printk.h>
#include <gpio.h>

static struct device *gpio_dev;
static bool nmos_state = false;

void toggle_nmos() {
    nmos_state = !nmos_state;

    if (nmos_state) {
        // turn on 
        printk("Setting GPIO pin to 1, %d\n", gpio_pin_write(gpio_dev, 13, 1));
    }
    else {
        // turn off
        printk("Setting GPIO pin to 0, %d\n", gpio_pin_write(gpio_dev, 13, 0));
    }
}

void main(void)
{
    gpio_dev = device_get_binding("GPIO_0");
    gpio_pin_configure(gpio_dev, 16, GPIO_DIR_OUT);

    while (true) {
        toggle_nmos();
        k_sleep(2000);
    }
}

What other files or libraries I have to write in order to correctly build this application? The idea is to generate the app_signed.hex file, flash and test.

Thanks in advance,

Alejandro Ch.

Hi!

Mainly you need to add a CMakeLists.txt file that looks like this:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.13.1)

find_package(Zephyr REQUIRED HINTS $ENV{ZEPHYR_BASE})
project(case_260461_project_name)

target_sources(app PRIVATE src/main.c)

and a prj.conf file that looks like this:

CONFIG_GPIO=y

I can test and run it all for you, but which NCS tag would you like to work on? 

Best regards,

Heidi

Hi Heidi! Thank you for reply!

I'm currently working with NCS 1.4.0

I'm gonna try to build it too and test, if you can do it and give your feedback would be great!

Thanks angain,

I tried to build from Segger Embedded Studio and this is my output:

What could be the error here?

[Heidi]

Are you building with the 'pristine' flag or deleting the build folder between builds?

So west build -b nrf9160dk_nrf9160ns -p.

I tried to build it using Segger Embedded Studio, when I try to do it using west, throws me the same error:

Heidi said:

So west build -b nrf9160dk_nrf9160ns -p. 

I'm using Nordic Thingy 91, my board should be thingy91_nrf9160, it's not?

[Heidi]

Yes, then it's:  west build -b thingy91_nrf9160ns. 

Make sure to either build with the -p flag or delete the build folder between builds. And remember to run west update in the ncs/nrf directory if you haven't done this.

Can you confirm that the file "atomic.h" is located in /home/alejandro/ncs/zephyr/include/sys?
