Greetings,
we are using the nrf52832 in our products and want to keep our toolchain up to date, but we got problems to use newer nrf mdk versions with gcc-arm. Build process is fine but after flashing the nrf_storage module cannot write or read any more because of strange adresses which are passed to former named functions.
To analyze the issue and keep things simple, i have build the nrf_storage example from nrf sdk 17.1.0 and compared the output between the former nrf mdk and a newer mdk version (8.62.0). The result is that with the newer mdk even the example project can not be used anymore (https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.1.0/fstorage_example.html?cp=9_1_4_6_10).
So the only part of the toolchain which differs when building the example project is the nrf mdk.
Output logs from example project:
<info> app: fstorage example started.
<info> app: SoftDevice not present.
<info> app: Initializing nrf_fstorage_nvmc implementation...
<info> app: ========| flash info |========

So the example project is stucked within an infinte loop of system resets.
Details from toolchain:
nrf sdk: 17.1.0
nrf mdk: 8.62.0
gcc-arm: 10.2.1
Is there a solution to fix it so we can use newer nrf mdk versions?
Best regards
