Hi,

Could you provide a Zigbee tutorial for XIAO nRF54L15.
There is Zigbee support with the last nRF Connect SDK v3.1.0 version: Technical Documentation

Zigbee R23 add-on for the nRF Connect SDK

Regards

Install NRF connect in vscode, following the seeed Wiki, but use the board path I gave you above the information in the seed Wiki is incorrect and I have submitted a correction but I don’t think it’s posted yet.

Build one of the zigbee samples from this URL

It’s the standard build a sample workflow from the NRF academy course on the nrf54l15 it’s free and a better quality than the tutorials on the seeed Wiki on the topic and is currently the gold standard for information about this MCU.

Are you referring to this part of the Wiki? If so, please tell me the correct board path. I am having trouble because the board is often not found during compilation.

To get started, clone the repository from the GitHub link git clone https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/platform-seeedboards.git into your preferred local folder. Once cloned, navigate to the platform-seeedboards/zephyr/boards directory. Remember this boards folder Path ;

Yes, that exact part shouldn’t have the boards suffix.

It should say

platform-seeedboards/zephyr

Not

platform-seeedboards/zephyr/boards

Thanks for the information.
I tried both, and as long as I use the GUI, I can build and upload without any problems.

Yes I set this value for boardRoots:
/home/user/platform-seeedboards/zephyr

I think we add to add files for this board to allow building:

  • boards/xiao_nrf54l15_nrf54l15_cpuapp.overlay

A the moment I am getting this error when building:
