Has anyone had any luck adding usb device networking to a project outside of samples/net/echo_server ?
I have built the above project with -DCONF_FILE="prj.conf overlay-netusb.conf" and it appears to work correctly.
But, when I add the overlay-netusb.conf file to another project - in particular, samples/net/sntp_client, the file nrfx_usbd.c
fails to compile.

The compile problem shows up when compiling nrfx_usbd.c (which compiles fine in the echo_server project).  There are
a number of complaints; but I suspect they have the same root cause - undiscovered as yet!

From what I can see, macro processor can't find a symbol it needs for evaluation.  I think most of the include files are actually static and not created by cmake.
So, I don't expect any problems there. The .config files generated for both projects are the same viz. networking and the generated dts .h files for both projects are identical.

Has anyone integrated USB device networking into a non sample project.

Thanks,

Well, as is usually the case, as soon as I'm convinced I'm stuck and send off a note, I try something else and make a bit
of progress......sigh.  The new project I was trying to integrate with an ecm usb network device interface had the following in prj.conf:

CONFIG_NEWLIB_LIBC=y

As soon as I removed that line, nrfx_usbd.c compiled - as did everything else.  The requirement for newlib may have been historical
and possibly irrelevant now.  I was doing some testing with a 3rd party source code package.  But, I don't know if this constitutes an
issue with the newlib code in the present distribution (1_13_99).  Can't say that my code is now functional, but the bizarre compiler behavior has disappeared. 
So, I think an interaction with the current newlib code is the cause of my initial problem.

Any comments on this are appreciated.  I may need newlib for compatibility reasons later on....would like to understand what's going on
here.

Andrezej, thanks for looking at this.  To keep things simple, I went back to the sample project:

samples/net/echo_server

With the exception of adding the first line, I don't believe I have changed anything from the zephyr clone I
made a few weeks ago (1_13_99).  Here's the prj.conf.

I know echo_server does not require newlib; but my app may.  This is the same behavior I see in my project.
Thought focusing on a sample project would help keep things a bit clearer.

BTW, you can also say

$ cmake -DOVERLAY_CONFIG=overlay-netusb.conf -DBOARD=nrf52840_pca10056
../..

as prj.conf is automatically included anyway.
Using -DCONF_FILE="prj.conf overlay-netusb.conf" works too of course.

Jukka,

Thanks...learn something new everyday!  This is also a reason for NOT renaming the .conf file for
your project to something unique....which, of course, I did on my first project!

Cheers,
