how to fix HW_CODEC_CIRRUS_LOGIC error when compiling

Hello,

This sounds like it might be an issue with your toolchain.
Did this error appear when you tried to build the application through the VSC nRF Extension, or through the buildprog script?
In case of the latter, which shell / terminal did you use to run the script, and from what directory was the command called?

Could you also tell me how you installed the SDK toolchain - did you do a manual install, or did you use the Toolchain manager?
I would recommend that you use the toolchain manager, so that you are working with a tagged release - this makes it easier to track changes in between versions, and for us to know exactly what you are working with.

Lastly, could you confirm that you did not 'abort' the west update following the prompt for the LC3 github repository login?
If you abort the update at this time it will not download the Cirrus Logic repository, which also might be the reason why you are seeing this error.

Best regards,
Karl

Hi,

thanks for your update

1.I build the application through the VSC nRF Extension

2.I install the toolchain manually(zephyr-sdk-0.14.2)

3.We are still waiting for the authorization of the LC3 encoding， almost one month...;but the open-source one is good, i can build the sample code "broadcast_audio_sink/broadcast_audio_source" for nRF5340DK, no error

4.I can build some sample code  for nRF52840, and flash it into nRF52840Dongle, it works well, so it will be a issue with the toolchain? 

thanks again

Hello,

Thank you for your patience with this - I have been out of office last week, but I am now back again.

It still sounds like the issue is with your toolchain - possibly that you aborted the west update when you were prompted for the github credentials, instead of just providing some arbitrary credentials that will fail to validate. This will make the west update continue to fetch the necessary Cirrus Logic repository, along with the SBC repository.
Could you confirm that the west update finished successfully? Alternatively, could you perform the west update again, as described in the documentation, and share the logs from the update with me?

I should also mention that since we last spoke we have finally released the NCS v2.0.0, which is now available in the toolchain manager - I highly recommend that you give this a try again using the v2.0.0 instead of the release candidate.

3. Are you still waiting for the LC3 access? 1 month is longer than any processing time I have ever heard of prior. Who have you been in contact with about this, and what company do you work for? If you would not like to share this information in a public ticket I can either convert it to private, or you can send me the information in a direct message instead, just let me know.

4. It could still be an issue with the toolchain, for example if the west update failed, or did not complete. This would still let you compile non-audio projects, but would cause issues when you attempt to build Audio DK applications.

Best regards,
Karl

Hi, Karl

you are right, after clone the Cirrus Logic repository, the error was gone

and i have send a message to your privatly.

thanks

Great, I am happy to hear that this issue now is resolved!

We can continue the access request discussion in the direct messages, no problem.

Best regards,
Karl
