VL53L1X - Custom driver not found

I found my mistake.

An unconfigured dependency and the sensor driver was not built.

I can now initialize my sensor !

Next step, make it work properly 😃

Thanks for help !

Thanks, this is what I did and sent in the zip.
In zip:
Kconfig & Cmakelists added in zephyr/drivers
In Application, this my project (the sub folder).
st,vl53l1x.yaml added in dts/bindings/sensor/vl53l1x
And folder vl53l1x added in zephyr/drivers/sensor

It seems the best overview of the process of making a custom driver we have at the moment is an answer from one of my colleagues, available here.

Can you look over those steps and make sure you have followed them all?

If you still can't figure out the issue just let me know, and I will take a look at it (if you can also share your files that would be helpful).

Best regards

Any chance you can zip the driver files, and the changes you made to the CMakeLists and Kconfig files, so I can try to build it here?

Best regards

I was trying the same thing with a different sensor. The sensor would never show up on the Device list when I debugged the load devices. Also the Driver init was never called by the OS.

What you are saying sheds some more light on this problem.
