mbed_apps.json: Cannot remove "NANOSTACK" from "target.features_add"

[adustm]

Hi, I am trying to use wifi (ESP8266 module) together with a NUCLEO_F429ZI platform. I modified the mbed_apps.json based on the configs.wifi_v4.json file

    "target_overrides": {
        "*": {
            "target.features_add": ["LWIP", "COMMON_PAL"],
            "lwip.ipv4-enabled": true,
            "lwip.ipv6-enabled": false,
            "mbed-trace.enable": 0
        },

But then typing mbed compile -t GCC_ARM -m NUCLEO_F429ZI does not work. I need to add "NANOSTACK" to make the compilation successfull again. It looks like mbed tries to compile the atmel driver, but as nanostack is not defined, it does not find the arm_hal_phy.h file.

Am I the only one having this trouble ? Could anyone remove this dependency ? Could we avoid compiling the atmel rf driver when not needed ?

See below the details:

$ mbed compile -t GCC_ARM -m NUCLEO_F429ZI

There is a 'hack' needed as workaround to that build problem. See info here. https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os-example-client#compilation-problems

We also recommend using the pre-defined json files: https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os-example-client/tree/master/configs

We apologies for the inconvenience this has caused to you. We'll try to fix this soon.

Documentation was updated to match the need to have the .mbedignore in case you're not using mesh. Please raise a new ticket to mbed-cli if you think this is not sufficient.
