Programming

Set -DSHIELD=dfrobot_can_bus_v2_0 or -DSHIELD=keyestudio_can_bus_ks0411 when you invoke west build or cmake in your Zephyr application. For example:

Using west:

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b nrf52dk_nrf52832 samples/drivers/can -- -DSHIELD=dfrobot_can_bus_v2_0
west flash

Using CMake and ninja:

# From the root of the zephyr repository
# Use cmake to configure a Ninja-based buildsystem:
cmake -Bbuild -GNinja -DBOARD=nrf52dk_nrf52832 -DSHIELD=dfrobot_can_bus_v2_0 samples/drivers/can

# Now run ninja on the generated build system:
ninja -Cbuild
ninja -Cbuild flash

Using west:

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b nrf52840dk_nrf52840 samples/drivers/can -- -DSHIELD=keyestudio_can_bus_ks0411
west flash

Using CMake and ninja:

# From the root of the zephyr repository
# Use cmake to configure a Ninja-based buildsystem:
cmake -Bbuild -GNinja -DBOARD=nrf52840dk_nrf52840 -DSHIELD=keyestudio_can_bus_ks0411 samples/drivers/can

# Now run ninja on the generated build system:
ninja -Cbuild
ninja -Cbuild flash
