Hi Marte:

Thank you for your response again.

The solution of adding a child image into the C:/ncs/v2.6.0/nrf/samples/CMakeLists.txt path was not success but I will check more about sysbuild.}

Best regards!

Hi,

[quote user="qiqe"]in the CMakeLists.txt wich is into the C:/ncs/v2.6.0/nrf/samples/CMakeLists.txt path of my computer. My idea is correct?.[/quote]

Correct.

[quote user="qiqe"]On the other hand, do you know when SDK V2.7.0 is going to be released?[/quote]

I am not able to answer questions about our timeline. You can try to ask your local sales representative from Nordic Semiconductor for information about our timeline.

Best regards,

Hi Marte:

Thank you for your quick help. Sorry, I understand that I must to add the code snippet:

if (CONFIG_MY_MCUBOOT)

add_child_image(

NAME my_mcuboot

SOURCE_DIR ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/my_mcuboot

)

endif()

in the CMakeLists.txt wich is into the C:/ncs/v2.6.0/nrf/samples/CMakeLists.txt path of my computer. My idea is correct?.

On the other hand, do you know when SDK V2.7.0 is going to be released?

Hi,

[quote user=""]1. I add the following code in the CmakeLists.txt of my parent project [/quote]

Calls to add_child_image must be made before multi_image.cmake is invoked and after nrf/cmake/extensions.cmake is invoked. Due to this, you must either add it as a child_image in the CMakeLists.txt file located under the sample directory in the nRF repository (nrf/samples/CMakeLists.txt), or you must add it using Zephyr modules as explained in the Adding a child image using Zephyr modules section.

I recommend waiting for nRF Connect SDK v2.7.0, which will introduce sysbuild. It should support this feature and simplify it.
In the meantime, sysbuild is supported in the upstream Zephyr repository, and you can experiment with the samples there: https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/samples/sysbuild/sysbuild.html.

Best regards,
Marte
