An error along the lines of `CMake Error at (zmk directory)/zephyr/cmake/generic_toolchain.cmake:64 (include): include could not find load file:` during firmware compilation indicates that the Zephyr Environment Variables are not properly defined.

### dtlib.DTError
### West Build Errors
An error along the lines of `dtlib.DTError: <board>.dts.pre.tmp:<line number>` during firmware compilation indicates an issue within the `<shield>.keymap` file.
This can be verified by checking the file in question, found in `mkdir/app/build`.

After opening the `<board>.dts.pre.tmp:<line number>` and scrolling down to the referenced line, one can locate errors within their shield's keymap by checking if the referenced keycodes were properly converted into the correct [USB HID Usage ID](https://www.usb.org/document-library/hid-usage-tables-12).
West build errors usually indicate syntax problems in the `<keyboard>.keymap` file during the compilation process. The following are some examples and root causes.
:::note
If you are reviewing these errors in the GitHub Actions tab, the contents of `<board>.dts.pre.tmp` is output (with line numbers) in the next step of the build process.
If you are reviewing these errors in the GitHub Actions tab, they can be found in the `West Build` step of the build process.

#### devicetree error
A `devicetree error` followed by a reference to the line number on `<keyboard>.keymap` refers to an issue at the exact line position in that file. For example, below error message indicates a missing `;` at line 109 of the `cradio.keymap` file:
| A properly defined keymap with successful compilation. As shown in red, the corrected keycode (`&kp SPACE`) references the proper Usage ID defined in the [USB HID Usage Tables](https://www.usb.org/document-library/hid-usage-tables-12) |
A `devicetree_unfixed.h` error that follows with an "undeclared here" string indicates a problem with key bindings, like behavior nodes (e.g. `&kp` or `&mt`) with incorrect number of parameters:
```
/__w/zmk-config/zmk-config/build/zephyr/include/generated/devicetree_unfixed.h:3756:145: error: 'DT_N_S_keymap_S_symbol_layer_P_bindings_IDX_12_PH_P_label' undeclared here (not in a function); did you mean 'DT_N_S_keymap_S_symbol_layer_P_bindings_IDX_16_PH'?
```
In this example, the error string `DT_N_S_keymap_S_symbol_layer_P_bindings_IDX_12_PH_P_label` indicates a problem with the key binding in position `12` in the `symbol_layer` of the keymap.
:::note
Key positions are numbered starting from `0` at the top left key on the keymap, incrementing horizontally, row by row.
