NRF samples don't work on sdk v2.1.0

[JMA]

I'm working with NCS v2.1.0 and Visual Studio Code, I tried to build nrf/samples/bootloader but always:

warning: attempt to assign the value 'y' to the undefined symbol IS_SECURE_BOOTLOADER

I can run all other  samples on zephyr/samples without issues, not sure if a missed of something or some configuration to allow CMakeList.txt or Kconfig definitions in sdkv2.1.0/nrf/ folder or maybe it is not allowed to use those definitions anymore, what am I doing wrong?, thanks.

Hello JMA,

My initial guess is that your prj.conf file has been changed. That is, IS_SECURE_BOOTLOADER is not a symbol in the nrf/samples/bootloader sample, but CONFIG_IS_SECURE_BOOTLOADER is part of it.

Are you able to build the sample it you replace IS_SECURE_BOOTLOADER with CONFIG_IS_SECURE_BOOTLOADER?

Kind Regards,
Maria

Hi Maria, it is not my prj.conf, it is the example one :

I just go to Create a new application->Application template-browse->nrf/samples/bootloader->select->Create Application->build

Visual Studio Code version: 1.72.2 (user setup)

NRF Connect for VS Code v2022.10.30

I have the same versions, so this should be ok.

Q1: How have you installed NCS v2.1.0? With the Toolchain Manager or manually?

I can run all other  samples on zephyr/samples without issues

I read through your original post, and took note of this.
Q2: Are you able to build any samples in nrf/samples or only from zephyr/samples?

Below is the prj.conf which is included with my installation of NCS v2.1.0. I am able to build the sample with no errors.
Q3: Does the prj.conf for the bootloader sample look the same as mine?
