kava60 hmm the plot thickens then.
My best guess is that your nrf/west.yml
is malformed. Can you cd to /opt/nordic/ncs/v1.5.0/nrf
and run git diff >> nrf.diff
and then send nrf.diff
my way?

jaredwolff I tried the ‘git diff >> nrf.diff’ but that failed. I had saved the original west.yml before I modified as specified in the install instructions, so here is a diff west.yml old_west.yml:
38,39d37
< - name: circuitdojo
< url-base: https://github.com/circuitdojo
125,129d122
< - name: nfed
< repo-path: nrf9160-feather-examples-and-drivers
< revision: v1.5.x
< path: nfed
< remote: circuitdojo
kava60 hmm that look a-ok to me.
Since this is clearly related to python/west
in some way. You can try compiling “manually”
# Use cmake to configure a Ninja-based buildsystem:
cmake -B build -GNinja -DBOARD=circuitdojo_feather_nrf9160ns samples/blinky
# Now run ninja on the generated build system:
ninja -C build
Also if there are any examples you want me to pre-build for your evaluation please let me know and I’ll send em your way.
jaredwolff The first cmake command failed the same way as the west build command (ManifestImportFailed). Perhaps this is a clue and we are narrowing down on where the problem is.
jaredwolff Somebody reported the same failure I’m seeing on the nordic devzone: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/71981/using-nrf-connect-sdk-to-build-and-run-a-hello-world-sample-on-my-board
It was on Windows in that case and the only suggestion was that perhaps the path to the ncs directory was too long (installed in the users windows directory). In my case it is in /opt/nordic which is the default.

jaredwolff Found the problem! I instrumented the is_cloned() call (which was the check that leads to the call to the default load that throws the exception). It calls a git() method that constructs a git command line that it uses to determine if the build is being run in a cloned repo. When I printed the return from the git command I saw it failed with the following:
git res = CompletedProcess(args=[‘git’, ‘rev-parse’, ‘–show-cdup’], returncode=1, stdout=b’', stderr=b’xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun\n’)
I’m running OS X Big Sur and apparently my command line tools license was not active (I know I activated it after I installed Big Sur). Ran the following:
$ xcode-select --install
After the install completed, I’m now able to successfully build the sample code!
Thanks for your help and patience Jared. I’m hoping that with all of this up front hassle everything else is now going to be a breeze!

kava60 wow I would have never thought to activate Xcode CLI tools! I’ll have to add that to the instructions. Thanks for sharing the process and sorry it was such a pain!
