What west command line to use for the Thingy:91 for zephyr RTOS samples

Hi,

I've been building nRF52840 applications from the command line using the zephyr RTOS for a while, but having taken delivery of the Thingy:91, am unable to get the hello_world sample to build.

https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/samples/hello_world/README.html

I'd be surprised if the Thingy:91 was not supported by the zephyrr RTOS, which boards are listed as follows:

https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/boards/index.html#boards

Which supported board target do I use as the west build target to build the hello_world sample?

The following build target (nrf9160dk_nrf52840) is clearly wrong (or is it? It throws an error when executing this command):

west build -p auto -b nrf9160dk_nrf52840 samples/hello_world

Does anyone know the correct build target to use - or if the above west CLI command is poorly constructed, know the correct one to use?

The build output from the above command is attached on the CommandLineBuild.txt file below.

Thanks!

Hi,

From the output log that you have provided it looks like you are using a clean Zephyr SDK (zephyrproject/zephyr/). Have you installed nRF Connect SDK? If so, the board files for the Thingy:91 is located in nrf\boards\arm\thingy91_nrf9160. Please note that the Thingy:91 is a prototype platform and is different to flash compared to a development kit. Our nRF Connect SDK documentation covers this in the "Getting started with the Thingy:91"

Does anyone know the correct build target to use - or if the above west CLI command is poorly constructed, know the correct one to use?

I had no issues building the hello_world sample as you asked
