Hi,

I am using NRF Connect SDK v2.2.0

1) Do you see the same with v2.4.0 ?

2) Did you try to do a DFU ?

Hi Sigurd, thank you for the quick response.

 Below are my comments

1) Do you see the same with v2.4.0 ?

—> We haven’t tried it on v2.4.0.

2) Did you try to do a DFU ?

—> Yes, we did.

—> I am sorry for not mentioning this, we observe this error after we do DFU and reset the device.

 It was working well earlier and we were trying something with kconfig to reduce the update bin size and this happened.

We do not know what we messed up.

So DFU was working before?

Do you have the previous build folder? Maybe you can compare the new and old .config files from the build folder?

Also, do you have the full log where this "E: Image in the secondary slot is not valid!" is printed?

I might have this, let me check and get back to you.

Thank you for the response.
