Adding `$Env:TOOLCHAIN_ROOT="$Env:ZEPHYR_BASE"` has fixed the issue. Builds are now successful!

Cheers

Hello,

[quote user=""]Is there any documentation on how to correctly setup a build server?[/quote]

There is some information from the upstream project itself:

https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/docker-image

And we have a blog post on the matter:

https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/nrf-connect-sdk-guides/b/getting-started/posts/build-ncs-application-firmware-images-using-docker

[quote user=""] For the project build step, the projects use custom boards and have `set(BOARD_ROOT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/)` in the `CMakeList.txt` and the working directory is set to the project directory. Then this powershell script is run:[/quote][quote user=""]But the build is failing [/quote]

Does this mean that a generic sample is built successfully when configured for any "standard" board?

Given your shell output, especially these lines:

CMake Error at C:/ncs/v1.6.1/zephyr/cmake/generic_toolchain.cmake:36 (include):
  include could not find load file:

    C:\Tools\arm-eabi/cmake/toolchain/gnuarmemb/generic.cmake

This indicates that the env "TOOLCHAIN_ROOT" is not set correctly (it should be: "c:/ncs/v1.6.1/zephyr/" in your case) . I am able to reproduce a similar error when running this command:

mkdir build && cd build && TOOLCHAIN_ROOT=/wrong/path cmake .. -DBOARD=nrf9160dk_nrf9160ns -GNinja

Which then produces this output (some line numbers does not match with yours, so might be a red herring):

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

The TOOLCHAIN_ROOT is set as default to $ZEPHYR_BASE if not defined. Could you check if you have this defined in your env?

Kind regards,
