Broadcast_audio_sink does not generate default partiton.yml files when mcuboot is enabled

Hi Laurin,

This seems like a documentation issue. The audio samples in Zephyr are not the same as our nRF5340 Audio application in nRF Connect SDK and using the documentation made for our application is not applicable to anything else than our application.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Thank you Øyvind for the links!

I might have worded my post a bit poorly. What my intention was, was to bring light ot the fact that when following the migration guides and FOTA samples, files like the partition.yml and pm_static.yml get mentioned a lot alongside the dfu_application.zip.

However using the mentioned samples broadcast_audio_sink which is part of the nrf connect sdk but not directly provided by nordic, all those files are not being generated without any obvious warnings.

This behaviour seems to be caused by the values in the Kconfig.sysbuild that comes with the mentioned sample.

For our usecase the audio application has to many features enabled that are not part of our custom board which is why using that application as a basis is to much work. At least that has been the case in previous releases.

Thus we use the broadcast_audio_sink which has just the features we need. And the documentation is not explicitly mentioning that there might be fundamental differences in the generated files build using sysbuild. If this behaviour is intentional than the purpose of this post is to help others avoid spending their time on figurouring out why the documentation talks abour files that are simply not being generated in that particular sample and its configuration.

I have not checked if that behaviour is consistent for all zephyr bluetooth samples that come with the nrf connect sdk.

Kind regards,

Laurin

Hi,

you can have a look at how this is handled in our nRF53 Audio applications, it includes nrf5340_audio/sysbuild_fota.conf to enable DFU while using sysbuild. You can build with "-DFILE_SUFFIX=fota" to enable DFU configs.

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Hello,

I'm currently looking into this and will get back to you within this day.
