Adding pcf85033a to a Nordic NCS project

Hi Jared,

First of all thanks for all the content you provide on YouTube and Github you have been an amazing help navigating through Zephyr for me!

I wanted to provide some feedback on your https://github.com/circuitdojo/pcf85063a.

I tried to follow your steps to add the module to Zephyr in a Nordic NCS context but with the steps provided in the readme file I was unsuccesful.

An NCS project seemingly has 2 .yml files. The regular Zephyr one and one in the /nrf sub directory. To the latter I had two add the remote for circuitdojo:
- name: circuitdojo
url-base: https://github.com/circuitdojo

and an entry underneath what Nordic describes as third-party repository information:
- name: pcf85063a
path: modules/lib/pcf85063a
revision: master
remote: circuitdojo

When I did added those 2 things to the correst west.yml file I was able to run west update correctly and use the module.

I’ll add the entire west.yml file as well.

Cheers,
Michiel

Hi Jared,

First of all thanks for all the content you provide on YouTube and Github you have been an amazing help navigating through Zephyr for me!

I wanted to give you some feedback on adding the PCF85063A module to Zephyr, specifically for Nordic NCS. The information you provided in the readme did not do the trick for me in the NCS and when asking in the Nordic devzone they also weren't able to give me the correct information. What makes matters more complicated is that in an NCS project there are multiple west.yml files unfortunately. So anyway I'll add the west.yml file (the one supposed to be in the /home/developer/ncs/v2.1.0/nrf folder) that made it work for me. 

If you prefer I could open an issue on Github, but I didn't really want to do that since this is kind of Nordic specific maybe. 

Anyway, thanks again for all the content!
Best regards,

Michiel
