How to enable Serial Recovery mode on the nrf5340_audio application (Sysbuild)?

Ok thanks Sigurd Hellesvik . I'm glad to know you also see the same.

In the meantime, let's keep this issue open, and when it is resolved, we can update it and close it.

Thanks for you help,

Sean

[quote user="FARLY7"]I feel like I have been around the houses enough trying many different configurations with Sysbuild (including your example) to try and get it to work, and been unsuccessful every time. I always get the same error as in my original message. I was trying for 2-3 days haha :)[/quote]

You know what, now that you say it, I agree completely.

[quote user="FARLY7"]Could you try to enable it in your own mcuboot_netcore_serial_recovery example instead?[/quote]

I tried, but was not able to make it work

https://github.com/hellesvik-nordic/samples_for_nrf_connect_sdk/tree/sysbuild/bootloader_samples/serial_recovery/mcuboot_netcore_serial_recovery

[quote user="FARLY7"]FYI, I can successfully enable serial recovery through non-sysbuild builds, which is what I'm reverting to for now.[/quote]

Yes I think this is the best solution for now.
Then when our official sample have been fixed, you can think about converting at that point.

Hi Sigurd,

Thank you for reporting the bug.

I feel like I have been around the houses enough trying many different configurations with Sysbuild (including your example) to try and get it to work, and been unsuccessful every time. I always get the same error as in my original message. I was trying for 2-3 days haha :)

Could you try to enable it in your own mcuboot_netcore_serial_recovery example instead? I am sure you will have the same error I have!

As I said, I already tried with nrf5340_audio and peripheral_uart samples, both with the same error. I have now run out of ideas and am convinced it must be another bug, or I have been missing something that is not documented.

FYI, I can successfully enable serial recovery through non-sysbuild builds, which is what I'm reverting to for now.

Thanks,

Sean

Yes this is the same error (Kconfig override warnings) as I see on my side as well.
Thank you for verifying this!

I have reported this as a bug internally.

In this case, can I suggest that you instead try to build my serial recovery sample with sysbuild instead?
You will have to make some changes to it, as it can no longer use the child_image folder for configs, but instead must follow sysbuild docs on how to apply mcuboot configurations from your project.

Hi Sigurd Hellesvik ,

If I run your command on NCS commit #8b1fd619 from main, the project builds, but wrongly. It doesn't include MCUBoot or B0n. See below:

What error do you receive? It definitely seems like something is wrong with Sysbuild + nRF5340 serial recovery.

[quote user="FARLY7"]However, the instructions don't work. Either by providing the overlays on the command line, or by copying them in manually. The build error is the same as the above.[/quote]

I try to build, and I get another error than you do.

How did you upgrade your NCS?

This is the build command I used from CLI:

west build -b nrf5340dk/nrf5340/cpuapp --sysbuild -- -DEXTRA_CONF_FILE=nrf5340dk_app_sr_net.conf -Dmcuboot_EXTRA_CONF_FILE=nrf5340dk_mcuboot_sr_net.conf

Does this match yours?

RE: How to enable Serial Recovery mode on the nrf5340_audio application (Sysbuild)?

The latest I tried was NCS v2.7.0-rc2

This may be relevant for me to report.
Which SDK version do you use?

RE: How to enable Serial Recovery mode on the nrf5340_audio application (Sysbuild)?

FARLY7 — Fri, 21 Jun 2024 14:40:15 GMT

Hi Sigurd Hellesvik ,

Thanks for your response.

I just attempted the same with the peripheral_uart Nordic sample. There is a brief description on how to enable network core serial recovery with the provided overlay files: https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/samples/bluetooth/peripheral_uart/README.html#activating_sample_extensions

However, the instructions don't work. Either by providing the overlays on the command line, or by copying them in manually. The build error is the same as the above.

Thanks,

Sean

Hi,

Seems you did the following

Serial Recovery alone without sysbuild
Serial Recovery alone with sysbuild
Audio sample with sysbuild
Audio sample with Serial Recovery and Sysbuild

Can you try 2, and see how that goes?

Regards,
Sigurd Hellesvik
