Hi,

The nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpuapp.overlay should look like this

Here is the devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../smp_5F00_svr_5F00_nRF5340DK_5F00_spi.7z which supports nRF5340DK external flash via SPI.

Beware that this code/configuration is not fully tested or qualified and should be considered provided “as-is”. Please test it with your application and let me know if you find any issues.

Hi Amanda.

I'm using ncs 2.6.1.

Because my customized board has only SPI.

This SPI shared to some sensors and the external memory.

The main target is to do FOTA using this external memory.

However I could'nt put the smp_srv sample to work when the memory has SPI enabled.

I'm trying to do all tests using DK and after that I will do the portability to my board.

Regards.

Marcelo F.

Hi,

Any special reason to use SPI instead of QSPI?

What NCS version are you using?

Amanda H.
