Development Environment: icore7 laptop running Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS.
Target: To build connectedhomeip sample application for arduino nano 33 ble board and check against laptop as a controller.
Installed nRF Connect SDK manually as mentioned in the link: (https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/gs_installing.html). Once completed, tried to build connectedhomeip samples as present in the path: ~/ncs/nrf/samples/connectedhomeip. Build mentioned zephyr SDK was missing and needs to be installed as mentioned in zephyrproject.org documentaiton, which i installed.
```

Installing zephyr-sdk solved this problem, but however it failed during compilation as below:
