Hi,

Did you create the overlay files before or after creating the build configuration? And do you see different behavior if you create the files before the build configuration compared to after?

Best regards,
Marte

I am starting with the SDK examples and adding to them is ble_uart_device and the other is hello_world which was adapted for MCUboot.

I got the examples working with pinetime_devkit0 and added the nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpuapp and nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpuapp_ns.

I did them bot the same and got different behavior, neither of which was really expected.

Hi,

Is this happening in SDK samples or in your own application? If it happens in samples, which ones?

Did you create the overlay files before or after creating the build configuration? If you create the overlay files after, it might be that they are not picked up by VS Code when you rebuild the project. In that case, and when making devicetree changes in general, I recommend deleting the build configuration/directory completely and creating a new one.

Best regards,
Marte
