Entered wrong board name at Zephyr Tools: Build

bweiler

I accidentaly chose “circuitdojo_feather_nrf9160” instead of “circuitdojo_feather_nrf9160_ns”. Now Zephyr Tools: Build no longer prompts for the board and fails the build.

Where do I change the board name to “circuitdojo_feather_nrf9160_ns”

I assume the board name goes in the CMakeList variable BOARD or BOARD_DIR, but I don’t see that in the environment - I don’t know where this is set.

Thanks, Bill

I had trouble starting over because “.zephyrtools” would not let me delete some of it’s files. I tried all sorts of things (a reinstall failed would fail with a lstat error).

I found I could rename the old folder, like .zephyrtoolsOLD. Then I was able to reinstall to “.zephyrtools” and get it working.

Zephyr Setup : newtmr didn’t make the connection string.

It seems newtmgr does not work with Windows? I can do the COM setting, but maybe not the baud rate?

@bweiler if you run the Zephyr Tools: Change Board command that should get you what you need.

The bootloader command does not work with Windows. You will need to put the board into bootloader mode manually.

Here’s the documentation page: https://docs.circuitdojo.com/nrf9160-programming-and-debugging.html#bootloader-use

I didn’t see “Zephyr Tools: Change Board” at first, because for some reason typing “>setup”, only shows the first four tools. When I scrolled through the list to the bottom, I saw there were many more tools, lile “Zephyr Tools: Change Board”.

The manual bootloader method works great.
