Overlay file addition Issue to Zephyr Project in SES

[mexco]

Dear, I copied the Button sample project to another drive i.e. G. I added the overlay file. The file is attched. The included file is shown on ltop left corner side under dts category. Then, click RUN CMake. The dialog appers as shown in attached file dailog.png . After clicking YES , in the OUTPUT window, there is a message  Restoring state from previous session, as shown in attached file restore.png. May the overlay file be included in .dts category ? Am I making any misyake in overlay file.

//****** lcd16x2 Overlay File ****
/{
aliases{
lcd0 = &lcd0;
lcd1 = &lcd1;
lcd2 = &lcd2;
lcd3 = &lcd3;
lcden = &lcden;
lcdrs = &lcdrs;
};

lcd16x2 {
compatible = "lcd_pins","arduino-header-r3";

lcd0: lcd_0 {
lcdgpios = <&gpio1 4 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH >;
label = "LCD_D0";
};
lcd1: lcd_1 {
lcdgpios = <&gpio1 5 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH >;
label = "LCD_D1";
};
lcd2: lcd_2 {
lcdgpios = <&gpio1 6 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH >;
label = "LCD_D2";
};
lcd3: lcd_3 {
lcdgpios = <&gpio1 7 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH >;
label = "LCD_D3";
};
lcdrs: lcd_rs {
lcdgpios = <&gpio1 8 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH >;
label = "LCD_RS";
};
lcden: lcd_en {
lcdgpios = <&gpio1 9 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH >;
label = "LCD_EN";
};
};
};lcd16x2.overlay

Dear Gulzar,

It appears that the overlay file is not found by your project. Here are three ways to include the aliases:

a) Include the path to the overlay file in CMakeLists.txt. (You might want to copy the file to your project folder or a subfolder of your project folder in order to keep the path short.

b) Or you could create a file called nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpuapp.overlay, place it in your project folder and add the lines of code.

Best regards,

Håkon

The Build Error 

The custom overelay file CODE  is below.

/{
aliases{
        bmspin = &bmspin;
       };
BmsPin {		
        status = "okay";
	bmspin: bms_pin {
          bmsio = < &gpio0 0x8 0x11 >;
          label = "BMS PIN";      
          status = "okay";
        };
  };
};

Hi Gulzar,

Sorry for the late reply. My colleague is on parents' leave and has some cases left over. 

I just wonder do you still need help? We have a blog that demonstrated how to add a display, have you referred to it: (+) LVGL on a TFT LCD Display with the nRF9160 DK - Peripherals And RF Test - nRF Connect SDK guides - Nordic DevZone (nordicsemi.com). Pay attention that the overlay file is named nrf9160dk_nrf9160ns.overlay so the building system can find it during the building process.

Best regards,

Charlie
