Not able to use custom board for Twister

[thomasBisseling]

When testing with twister is get the error platform_filter - unrecognized platform - <board_name>

The folder structure is like this:

├─ project_name
└── boards/arm/<board_name>
    └── <board_name>_defconfig
    └── <board_name>.dts
    └── <board_name>.yaml

In YAML is have the identifier exact the same as <board_name>.

I run command: west twister -n -p <board_name> -T <path_to_tests> -A <absolute_path>/<project_name>/boards/ -v.

In build.log is a line with No board named '<board_name>' found.

Please help, how do i fix this?

Did you add board_root to your zephyr/module.yml file?

[thomasBisseling]

No i didn't. But i found out when i copy the folder of my board to ~/zephyrproject/zephyr/boards/arm. The test will run. Only this is not the way to do it

Created a zephyr/module.yml with the following content:

build:
  cmake: .
tests:
  - tests
boards:
  - boards

But it does not work. It creates the ./twister-out/<my-board-name> directory and in the build.log within that directory it shows:
No board named '<my-board-name>' found.

Got over it by removing [..]/boards/ at the end of the -A parameter. Now twister complains about SchemaErrors in custom DTS files. Will create a issue for that.

This isn't even correct, look at https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/example-application/blob/main/zephyr/module.yml
