nRF Connect SDK v1.9.1 board configuration doesnt yield results.

[Sophisti]

Hi there,

I am trying out the nRF Connect SDK v1.9.1 with a custom board (with an nRF52833) that we have produced. I have set up the necessary plugins in VSCode (v1.67.2) through the Connect toolchain manager (v0.10.3) and I am able to flash the zephyr/samples/hello_world sample to an nRF52-DK (with an nRF52832) and see the 'Hello World' output in the nrf terminal in VS Code. However when I set up a separate build configuration with my own board (attached as zip), I get nothing in the nrf terminal. I have similar results with the blinky example, where I'm able to see results on the DK, but not on our custom board.

Flashing the custom board goes without errors in the console. But after that it seems the code isn't running... Do you have any ideas what might be causing this?

Hi Priyanka,

I do not get any warnings or problems while building.

Best regards,

Hi,

In your screenshot, there seems to be 3 problems shown. Is it possible to show those?

As an update: We tried programming the very same board with Segger Studio and that worked normally, so this is also not a HW fault in any way. We are really keen to get started with Zephyr + Nordic hardware so we would really appreciate any insights on where to look for solutions. Thanks!

Hi ,

Did you add a custom board using these steps?

Yes, I did. And then I modified the defconfig file to enable RTT and GPIO (among some other interfaces). I also modified the .dts file to specify the LED pins (trying to work towards a blinky example). The resulting board is located in my arm boards directory in the SDK (../v1.9.1/boards/arm); which I created a zip of - attached to this thread.

I also then created a build configuration for that board according to the following settings (which I do not see any violations with in comparison to https://nrfconnect.github.io/vscode-nrf-connect/connect/build_app.html#setting-up-a-build-configuration):

Hi,

Sorry for the delay. I have contacted internally and will get back to you as soon as I get a response.

Great! On our side, we keep butting into this issue. In short, the standard examples work on a nrf52-DK; but as soon as we move to a custom board (created per the steps you provided - please see attachment "canvas_v1.zip") the code does compile and flash, but nothing noticable happens.

Looking forward to any insights in this. If it would be easier or quicker to arrange a videocall I can also screen share to walk through the steps I take.
