ports/zephyr fails to compile with CONFIG_BT=y : 'CONFIG_BT_DEVICE_NAME_MAX' undeclared

openby stuartlangridgeopened 2026-02-15updated 2026-02-25
bugport-zephyr

Port, board and/or hardware

nRF52840 Dongle

MicroPython version

micropython 1.27.0 or master: build is zephyr on Ubuntu 24.04.

Reproduction

I am trying to bring up the zephyr port on the nRF52840 dongle (which is supported by Zephyr: the similar nRF52840DK is supported by both zephyr and micropython's zephyr port). If I build micropython with default kernel config as per the instructions (west build -p always -b nrf52840dongle micropython/ports/zephyr, with no ports/zephyr/boards/nrf52840dongle.conf present) then the build is fine and completes, and works when flashed to the device. However, when I turn bluetooth on (by creating ports/zephyr/boards/nrf52840dongle.conf with CONFIG_BT=y in it) and build again with the same command, the build fails, with a bunch of compilation errors to do with missing symbols and the like, as listed below

Summary

Zephyr and Micropython both have a variant of FatFs, but having both enabled leads to build fails.
