Thanks,

"required: false" was missing for interrupts in file v2.3.0/zephyr/dts/bindings/serial/amr,sbsa-uart.yaml

In case this helps anyone SDK 2.3.0 missing the last line in the arm,sbsa-uart.yaml file.

Adding it back in (was there in earlier SDKs) enabled output in the Terminal window for me.

description: ARM SBSA UART

compatible: "arm,sbsa-uart"

include: uart-controller.yaml

properties:

reg:

required: true

interrupts:

required: false

Hold the phone! After either the restart of VS Code, or reboot of Windows 11, or both, the fix has eliminated the error. Can't explain it, but that's the observation.

I have the same Issue with 2.3.0 SDK and nRF52840 dev board, following the blinky_pwm tutorial

I have the same problem. The update above of file v2.3.0/zephyr/dts/bindings/serial/amr,sbsa-uart.yaml does not fix the problem.

I also see this error when building the nrf5340 Audio app.

When building each sample code (Blink, Hello World, PeripheralLBS) with SDK v2.3.0, I get the error "Invalid type definition: Cannot set properties of null (setting 'name')". Then I change the SDK version to v2.2.0 and then the error disappears.

Is there a specific sample that triggers this error?

Do you get any compilation/build errors?

Hi,

When using SDK version 2.2.0 didn't get this error.

Hi,
