[quote user="SirBuhi"]to only update the application core.[/quote]

Aha, so you are trying to update only the application core.

Anyway, to return to the original issue, with missing parameters in manifest.json:

These are added in nrf/modules/mcuboot/CMakeLists.txt. For the netcore, it would be here.
If we build for only the application core on the other hand, it is done here instead. The difference looks to be hardcoded, so we can not configure it. However, you can edit this CMakeLists.txt yourself to add what you need: For example, to add index as 0 for application updates:

diff --git a/modules/mcuboot/CMakeLists.txt b/modules/mcuboot/CMakeLists.txt
index f2b1efbd5..68aca17ef 100644
--- a/modules/mcuboot/CMakeLists.txt
+++ b/modules/mcuboot/CMakeLists.txt
@@ -544,6 +544,7 @@ if(CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT)
         set(generate_script_params
           "load_address=$<TARGET_PROPERTY:partition_manager,PM_APP_ADDRESS>"
           "version_MCUBOOT=${CONFIG_MCUBOOT_IMGTOOL_SIGN_VERSION}"
+          "image_index=0"
           )
       endif()
     endif()

Is this what you need?

Dear Sigurd,

When working with the Peripheral LBS I do not have such clear marked "child image" folder for the netcore, instead the "hci_rpmsg" will be loaded on the netcore.

When having a look at the "app_update.bin" it seems to me, that only the code for the application core is available, which is fine for me at the moment, to only update the application core.

However, as mentioned before, this yields an error while trying to do a DFU via BLE.

Regards,

Patrick

Do you update both cores or only the appliction core?

If both cores, do you do it simultaneously or non-simultaneously?

Dear Sigrud,

I took the Peripheral LBS as base and added then the MCUMGR functionality as well as secure boot.

Updating via serial connection works as well as updating via the Flutter nRF Connect Device Manager, however, in the latter I have to add manualy the "image_index" and "version" to the manifest file, which should not be the case for automation

My manifest storred under "\build\zephyr\dfu_application.zip", looks like:

{
    "format-version": 0,
    "time": 1698137228,
    "files": [
        {
            "load_address": 229376,
            "version_MCUBOOT": "0.0.0+0",
            "type": "application",
            "board": "nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpuapp",
            "soc": "nRF5340_CPUAPP_QKAA",
            "size": 232327,
            "file": "app_update.bin",
            "modtime": 1698137228
        }
    ],
    "name": "ComNode_240",
    "firmware": {
        "zephyr": {
            "revision": "27e2af79da29a05e427b970a638bb63e407abfcd-dirty"
        },
        "nrf": {
            "revision": "75adfe8909fbac1c2e0ede465448d1ce2821dfa9"
        }

}

Hi,

If I build my example Simultaneous DFU for app and net core of nRF5340, I get the following manifset.json inside dfu_application.json:

devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../4743.manifest.json

Does this answer your question?
