unable to flash sam_e70_xplained due to west errors

[andrewboie]

I cloned the Zephyr repo like I usually do.

git clone [email protected]:zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr.git
cd zephyr
source zephyr-env.sh
cd tests/crypto/rand32

I then build a test case in the normal way:

mkdir out
cd out
export BOARD=sam_e70_xplained
cmake ..
make -j8

I then try to flash:

make flash

I get:

West version found in path does not support '/usr/bin/gmake flash', ensure west is installed and not only the bootstrapper. run 'west init' to fetch west.
Built target flash

This used to work. I have installed west 0.5.4 with pip3.

@andrewboie can you run:

west update
west --version

from your zephyr folder?

This error message will be printed if west is found but west flash -h fails. This usually means that you are running west in a zephyr tree that does not have a .west/ folder in its enclosing folder. Check that the folder is present, like:

carles@zweck-1964 ~/src/zephyr 
$ ls -la
total 0
drwxr-xr-x   5 carles  staff   160 Mar  9 22:37 .
drwxr-xr-x  23 carles  staff   736 Feb  9 13:29 ..
drwxr-xr-x   4 carles  staff   128 Jan 30 21:52 .west
drwxr-xr-x  44 carles  staff  1408 Jan 30 21:52 net-tools
drwxr-xr-x  45 carles  staff  1440 Mar  9 22:32 zephyr

If the .west/ folder does not exist, please run west init -l zephyr/ from the enclosing folder.

I didn't setup a parent folder with west initialized in it.
Closing since this is required for flashing to work.
