Since you "verified" my last reply as an answer I did not get a notification that you had a follow-up question. Regarding your question: Have you checked that there is a file called app_error.c in this path on your computer? I'm not sure you added the SDK_ROOT correctly, are you sure the boards.h file is found in your application now?

Best regards,

I did what you said, boards.h problem solved. However, this time it gives the error that I shared the picture of. Can you find a solution to this? Thank you...

What IDE are you using for development here? You can make yourself a SDK_ROOT macro which points to the nRF5 SDK root, then insert this macro into your project path. My colleague Vidar has explained how to do so for SEGGER Embedded Studio in this ticket. The "library missing" error must be coming from the example not finding the library in the nRF5 SDK path for some reason.

The location of both files is here C:\nordicTest. I downloaded NRF5 SDK for mesh and NRF SDKV17.0.0. I put it in the folder inside the file path above. However, I still get the error that the boards.h library is missing. As an example, the project I'm trying to compile is light_switch_client. Can you tell me why I am getting this library missing error?

Did you follow "Installing the toolchain" in the user guide? Are you having trouble following the guide, or want details on how to move the folders should be moved closer to the root of your path. The nRF5 SDK and Mesh SDK folders should be located in the same folder. So for example, I have both these SDKs in the following path: C:\nordicsemi\SDK. If your SDK folders are located in for example C:\users\...\...\...\...\SDKs try moving it down a bit and see if that helps. If it doesn't, I think something went wrong during installation, and you should try removing and reinstalling the nRF5 SDK and Mesh SDKs.

Best regards,

I did what you said but it didn't work, can you explain the solution in more detail? Thank you.

To get the nRF5 Mesh SDK up and running, please follow the Installing the toolchain guide in the SDK documentation. Alternatively, just to get one example running check out the quick demonstration guide. If you have already installed the toolchain, an error like this can come from the path where the Mesh and nRF5 SDKs are located is on too long of a path, so the boards.h is not found for that reason. Try moving the SDK folders closer to the root of the path.
