NCS v1.5.0 sample build error

[Adeel]

Hi Dev team,

I was trying to build the mqtt_simple sample in the new NCS v1.5.0 and I am getting a build error.

I tried to build other samples as well but was faced with the same error. I think its related to the FLASH memory partition.

Can you help me out in running the samples of NCS v1.5.0 

Regards,

Adeel.

Hi Hakon,

I managed to fix it by using this thread : https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/72569/sdk-v1-5-0-sample-application-cloud_client-to-large-for-flash

Now the samples are building.

I had 1 more query with respect to migrating the code from NCS v1.3.0 to NCS v1.5.0 : 

I had a config in my prj.conf of my code in NCS v1.3.0 : CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMEOUT_API=y

When I migrate my code to NCS v1.5.0, it gives a KConfig error due to this (CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMEOUT_API=y).

I had referred to the below thread as I had faced the same issue as in the below thread. 

https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/66410/nrf9160-date-time-example/271721#271721

CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMEOUT_API=y solved my issue in v1.3.0 but I am unable to use this config in NCS v1.5.0 due to which I get the error :

 Is there any alternative that has come up to resolve this issue ?

Regards,

Adeel.

Looks like the legacy timeout API has been removed in the latest Zephyr version. I tried building the mqtt sample in NCS 1.5.0, and it worked fine. Are you sure you are not on master?

Hi Hakon,

The MQTT sample builds fine. I was trying to build my own sample wherein I encountered this error.

I am using the kernel timers in that along with the date_time library. 

This error was generally solved using CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMEOUT_API. Can you let me know what changes can I make in the sys_clock.h file to solve this error .

The Zephyr issue for "CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMEOUT_API" states that : "All kernel timeout usage must use the new-style k_timeout_t type and not the legacy/deprecated millisecond counts." What does this mean ?

Adeel.

Hi Hakon,

Do you have any update with respect to this issue ? i still am not able to compile my code because of the same error.

It looks like the argument to the poll() function is wrong. Can you show how you are using that? What are the arguments?

Hi Hakon,

No worries. I was able to figure it out myself. Thanks for the help
