Mapping a binary file to a flash partition

[mlac]

Hi there,

I have multiple flash partitions defined in pm_static.yml.

I want one specific partition to contain a binary data file so that when I flash the image with J-Link, the bootloader, the application firmware, and the binary file are flashed together.

The binary file doesn't occupy the entire flash partition. The rest of the partition content doesn't matter.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Could you please share the SDK version and the Nordic chip or development kit (DK) you are using

I want one specific partition to contain a binary data file so that when I flash the image with J-Link, the bootloader, the application firmware, and the binary file are flashed together.

To ensure we proceed correctly, could you please clarify the intended use or purpose of the binary data file within the flashing process?

Kind Regards,

Abhijith

Hi Abhijith,

I'm using the nRF Connect SDK 2.6.1, but I'm about to upgrade to 2.7.0 very soon.

I'm not using a development kit but a custom board featuring a nRF52840.

The application firmware uses a sophisticated binary configuration format stored on a dedicated partition. The file can be updated via USB and Bluetooth, but I'd prefer to pre-flash it in the factory along with the firmware with a J-Link probe.
