nRF connect SDK - broken build

[Gabriele]

Hi,
after a couple of months of inactivity I try to rebuild my Zephyr-based application under nRF Connect SDK, tag 1.3.0.
I’m dumb-founded to see this unexpected print hereunder.
What’s going on ? Is it anything I did that broke the system ?

Thank you

Gabriele

Hello Marte,
Thank you for your advice.
Meanwhile I've decided to move NCS ahead, from 1.3.0 to 1.5.0.
The environment variable are now OK.
I can successfully rebuild the Hello World sample application again usign my off-tree board definition.
Unfortunately a Kconfig issue comes when building MCUBoot as a child application.

In main CMakeList.txt I have this:
set(mcuboot_CONF_FILE
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/mcuboot_config_file.conf
)

In mcuboot_config_file.conf I have only this:
CONFIG_MCUBOOT_LOG_LEVEL_OFF=y

Then I run:
$ cmake -B build -GNinja -DBOARD_ROOT="/home/gabriele/qi2m-dev/board-definition" .

and  this is what I get

Hi,

Did you add MCUboot as a child image following this guide for defining and enabling a child image?

Please note that due to Easter we are short staffed, so response time might be slower. It will be back to normal Tuesday 6th of April.

Best regards,

Marte

[Gabriele]

Hi,
as requested in that abstruse guide,
I've added the following chunck of code to parent application's CMakeLists.txt

if (CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT)
add_child_image(
NAME mcuboot
SOURCE_DIR ${MCUBOOT_DIR}/boot/zephyr
)
endif()

No variation is observed in the build output.

[Marte Myrvold]

Hi,

Do you have CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y in prj.conf? In order to change configurations, you must also add the configuration to the prj.conf file, as this file is used for the application settings and is merged with a board file (*_defconfig) to set the initial configurations.

Best regards,

Marte

[Gabriele]

Hello Marte,
I apologize for the late reply.
MCUBOOT was only one of the problem I have fixed.

I had to remove from CMakeList.txt the following statement

set(mcuboot_CONF_FILE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/mcuboot.conf)

where the mcuboot.conf content is "CONFIG_MCUBOOT_LOG_LEVEL_OFF=y"
Now the bootloader is correctly built along with parent application.

Hi Gabriele,

Great to hear that you figured it out and that it builds correctly now!

Best regards,

Marte
