out-of-tree driver

[Gabriele]

Hi,
This time I'm on NCS 1.3.0.
Board definition is derived from nrf5340pdk_nrf5340, with some minor variations, and it is out-of-tree. I think it is OK.
Since I moved also my DAC driver out-of-tree I'm having problems with cmake build.
This is all they provide on this topic, nothing! (docs.zephyrproject.org/.../README.html)
I'm sharing the files holding out hope that someone could kindly try it out.
Just run the build.sh script to get the work done.

Thank you

Hello,

 

I'm sharing the files holding out hope that someone could kindly try it out.

 Where are you sharing the files? I can't find anything in attachments.

Sorry Hakon, here you are6102.files.zip

When I run the build script it tries to build for the nrf9160_pca10090 board, which is deprecated. Shouldn't it build for the custom board you mentioned?

Dear Hakon,
it might be our NCS installations differ in some environment variable.
I guess this is beacuse I plumped for working with git submodules instead of letting west to manage multiple repositories in the standard way.
Anyway, I've solved the problem by myself.
I realized that, to get the driver compiled, cmake needed to know were to find the binding file (dts/bindings/dac/ti,dacx0501.yaml).
Placing hereunder statement in the app's CMakeList.txt proved to be the right thing.

list(APPEND DTS_ROOT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../board-definition)

This solves the problem.
Thank you for your willing to help
