Flash area error when attempting DFU via nRF Connect App

Hello,

I'm getting the following error  when attempting to perform a DFU. I'm using the Android nRF Connect app.

00> I: Image index: 0, Swap type: test
00> I: Image index: 1, Swap type: none
00> E: Failed to open flash area ID 1: -2

Flash Area ID of 1 indicates it's external flash. Error -2 is ENOENT. So it's saying that no such flash area exists? I suspect something is not configured correctly.

Here is my external flash devicetree snippet:

&spi4 {
	compatible = "nordic,nrf-spim";
	status = "okay";
	pinctrl-0 = <&spi4_default>;
	pinctrl-1 = <&spi4_sleep>;
	pinctrl-names = "default", "sleep";
	cs-gpios = <&gpio1 12 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;

	sst26vf: sst26vf064b@0 {
		compatible = "jedec,spi-nor";
				reg = <0>;
		spi-max-frequency = <24000000>;
		jedec-id = [bf 26 43]; /* see datasheet table 5-4, p.25 */

		/* see datasheet pp. 72-79 for basic flash parameters table below */
		sfdp-bfp = [
			fd 20 f1 ff  ff ff ff 03  44 eb 08 6b  08 3b 80 bb
			fe ff ff ff  ff ff 00 ff  ff ff 44 0b  0c 20 0d d8
			0f d8 10 d8  20 91 48 24  80 6f 1d 81  ed 0f 77 38
			30 b0 30 b0  f7 ff ff ff  29 c2 5f ff  f0 30 c0 80
		];
		size = <67108864>;

	 	requires-ulbpr; /* sst26vf has block write protections enabled by default */
	};
};

The project is based on the smart lock sample code. I had to increase the size of the bootloader region to get it to fit. Here is the pm_static_dfu.yml file:

mcuboot:
  address: 0x0
  size: 0xc000
  region: flash_primary
mcuboot_pad:
  address: 0xc000
  size: 0x200
app:
  address: 0xc200
  size: 0xeae00
mcuboot_primary:
  orig_span: &id001
  - mcuboot_pad
  - app
  span: *id001
  address: 0xc000
  size: 0xeb000
  region: flash_primary
mcuboot_primary_app:
  orig_span: &id002
  - app
  span: *id002
  address: 0xc200
  size: 0xeae00
factory_data:
  address: 0xf7000
  size: 0x1000
  region: flash_primary
settings_storage:
  address: 0xf8000
  size: 0x8000
  region: flash_primary
mcuboot_primary_1:
  address: 0x0
  size: 0x40000
  device: flash_ctrl
  region: ram_flash
mcuboot_secondary:
  address: 0x0
  size: 0xef000
  device: SST26VF
  region: external_flash
mcuboot_secondary_1:
  address: 0xef000
  size: 0x40000
  device: SST26VF
  region: external_flash
external_flash:
  address: 0x12f000
  size: 0x6D1000
  device: SST26VF
  region: external_flash
pcd_sram:
  address: 0x20000000
  size: 0x2000
  region: sram_primary

I'm don't know how or if this yaml file relates to the partitions defined in the devicetree, but here are the devicetree partitions:

&flash0 {

	partitions {
		compatible = "fixed-partitions";
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <1>;

		boot_partition: partition@0 {
			label = "mcuboot";
			reg = <0x00000000 0x00010000>;
		};
		slot0_partition: partition@10000 {
			label = "image-0";
		};
		slot0_ns_partition: partition@50000 {
			label = "image-0-nonsecure";
		};
		slot1_partition: partition@80000 {
			label = "image-1";
		};
		slot1_ns_partition: partition@c0000 {
			label = "image-1-nonsecure";
		};
		/* 0xf0000 to 0xf7fff reserved for TF-M partitions */
		storage_partition: partition@f8000 {
			label = "storage";
			reg = <0x000f8000 0x00008000>;
		};
	};
}

Thanks.

    I built the vanilla matter lock sample application for the nRF5340-dk target. Added CONFIG_CHIP_OTA_REQUESTOR=y and CONFIG_CHIP_DFU_OVER_BT_SMP=y to prj.conf.

    This also doesn't work. Errors are below:

    uart:~$ E: Failed to open flash area ID 2: -19
    E: Failed to open flash area ID 1: -2
    E: Failed to open flash area ID 8: -19
    E: Failed to open flash area ID 2: -19
    E: Image upload inspect failed: 10
    E: Failed to open flash area ID 2: -19
    

    Which configurations are missing to get Bluetooth DFU working with Android nRF Connect application?
