Custom Board Revision Selection (VSCode GUI)

[douglas.malnati]

Windows 11, VSCode, NCS v2.3.0

I have defined a custom board for myself, and I am able to select it in the Add Build Configuration GUI.

I am not able to select a revision, though, the drop-down is blank.  I can type into the revision box, but it doesn't accept it, it just blanks it out when I click away.

I am able to build the 1.0.0 revision by specifying the -DBOARD param as a extra CMake argument.

Here is the set of files I have defining this board.

How can I get the revision drop-down to automatically populate, or at least let me type in a revision?

Thanks.

Hi,

I found revision.cmake inside the nRF9160 board folder.

Try to add a revision.cmake file to your project as well.

No that didn't fix it.

I tried this, and it worked for me:

Try to restart VS Code after.

I used the VS Code tool to create a new board named "urd".

Here is my board directory:

Thank you Sigurd.  I tried adding the <board>_0_1_0.overlay file and that didn't seem to do it.

I would investigate further but I have found a simpler approach so I'm able to avoid this for now.

If I ever need board revisions I will revisit this then.

Thanks!
