nRF5340 beacon example with RPC

[Tamas Selmeci]

Beacon example (zephyr/samples/bluetooth/beacon)

Issuing the following:

west build -b nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpuapp
west flash

I get images running on APP and NET core, beacon can be catched by nrfconnect.

But if I want the whole BT stack run on NET core with RPC interface:

west build -b nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpuapp -- -DCONFIG_BT_RPC_STACK=y
west flash

Compile succeeds, but the console shows a lot of errors:

And not all of the above errors can be fixed by adding the appropriate config options to prj.conf.

What is the solution?

Hi again,

Can you try to follow my suggestion I made previously:

Can you try to follow the description for peripheral UART first to check that it works as expected, then next is the HIDS mouse, ref example build description:
https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/samples/bluetooth/rpc_host/README.html#example-build

In the link you can find for instance that you need to add a samples/bluetooth/peripheral_hids_mouse/child_image/rpc_host.conf for the hids mouse example, if you are working on the beacon, you likely need to add the /child_image/rpc_host.conf to the beacon project instead.
