Building Standalone Solution with Sysbuild

[Piplup]

I have a custom board with a nrf52832 chip on it and I am currently trying to build my own application for it.

I have successfully managed to compile and flash it using the nrf Connect SDK for VS Code with the default build, but when I try to compile it using sysbuild, it does not work.

I am quite new to this and a bit lost.

My application has the following layout :

 app_root_folder

app

src

main.c

boards

vendor

plank

CMakeList.txt

prj.conf

I would like to have an application on Git that handles all the required files to build and flash. Can anyone guide me through the process?

Thanks.

Hi, 

Which NCS & ToolChain version are you using?

Can you provide the completed build log or your simple project?

I have successfully managed to build through command line using the "Star Topology" and west. (using NCS 2.7.0 also)

I am now trying to add a MCUboot and a serial DFU.

I added a sysbuild.conf file with SB_CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y, but when I run the build command, it does not work unless I specify -DSB_CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y.

If I understood the documentation, if you add a sysbuild.conf file at the root of your app, it should pick it up automatically.

I added a link to source code : source code

Thank you.

Move sysbuild.conf and sysbuild to under app folder. See the Sysbuild Kconfig file and Zephyr application Kconfig fragment and devicetree overlay docs.

It works, thank you!

Happy to know it works.
