Building for Actinius Icarus IoT always fails

[Dekel]

Hi,

I'm using nRF connect extension with VSCode and developing for Actinius Icarus IoT board (which uses nRF9160).

Even when building the example code of hello_world - the process fails. In the build configuration I select actinius_icarus_ns.

In contrary, when I select one of Nordic's DKs - it builds successfully.

I'll mention that I use NCS 2.1.3, but had the same experience with older and newer versions.

I feel stuck. How can I solve this? 

Thanks.

Try to add TFM support.

Edit "zephyr/boards/arm/actinius_icarus/Kconfig.defconfig" and add the TFM section (START to END).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if BOARD_ACTINIUS_ICARUS || BOARD_ACTINIUS_ICARUS_NS

config BOARD
    default "actinius_icarus"

####### START ############################
# By default, if we build for a Non-Secure version of the board,
# enable building with TF-M as the Secure Execution Environment.
config BUILD_WITH_TFM
    default y if BOARD_ACTINIUS_ICARUS_NS

if BUILD_WITH_TFM

# By default, if we build with TF-M, instruct build system to
# flash the combined TF-M (Secure) & Zephyr (Non Secure) image
config TFM_FLASH_MERGED_BINARY
    bool
    default y

endif # BUILD_WITH_TFM

####### END ############################

config I2C
    default y if SENSOR

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate your help!

I tried what you offered, but still get errors:

pm_config.h exists of course, and compiles with other boards.

Any ideas about this?

try

west build -d build_actinius_icarus_ns -b actinius_icarus_ns --pristine

or delete the generated build directory and build it again.

The missing "pm_config.h" was also the error I got, before I added the TFM config and executed a "--pristine" build.

[Achim Kraus]

If you search in this forum for "pm_config.h" you get a couple of hits, which are pointing to the "_ns" (app in non-secure mode). Therefore adding the TFM support should help. If that doesn't work, that may be caused by previous failed builds. Therefore remove either the "build directory" or use "--pristine".

[Dekel]

I've deleted the build directory and it worked! You're amazing, thank you so much!

I'm finally able to build and flash the manufacturer's examples.

You're welcome.
