There's the issue.

There were some changes in v1.8.0: https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-zephyr/commit/3e0eb0b7b43da60f528a38a10ada78c49d5848e6

Most importantly in this case:

-zephyr_file(CONF_FILES ${APPLICATION_SOURCE_DIR}/boards DTS APP_BOARD_DTS)
+zephyr_file(CONF_FILES ${APPLICATION_CONFIG_DIR}/boards DTS APP_BOARD_DTS)

By default APPLICATION_CONFIG_DIR is the project folder, but you are overwriting it to be configuration/${BOARD}, so it is looking for an overlay file in configuration/${BOARD}/boards/

You can put the overlay file in configuration/nrf52840dk_nrf52840/ , next to the .conf files, and you should be good to go.

When the overlay file is put in the "configuration" folder it is not working.

This is my CMakeLists.txt:

devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../8130.CMakeLists.txt

Does it work if you put the overlay file in the "configuration" folder?

Could I see your CMakeLists.txt file?

Thanks for your reply!

I thought I tried this already but apparently I didn't because this way it works and CMake finds the overlay file.

But why is the boards folder no longer searched by CMake?

Hi,

Do you experience the same problem if the overlay file is placed one level up, at the same level as the Kconfig and CMakeLists.txt files?
