Hi,

[quote user="Neso"]Not sure how I got this conflict, but I deleted and installed board files again. It worked.[/quote]

That is great to hear.

[quote user="Neso"]My colleague got the same duplicate file error on Mac.[/quote]

Did it work for your colleague as well after re-installing board files?
Which operating system do you use?

[quote user="Neso"]Is it something wrong in the nRF connect install?[/quote]

There should not be anything wrong. How did you install your NCS v2.8.0?

Best regards,
Dejan

Hi,

I can see in your log that conflicting file names have been discovered by the build system.

CMake Error at C:/ncs/v2.8.0/zephyr/cmake/modules/extensions.cmake:2842 (message):
  Conflicting file names discovered.  Cannot use both
  actinius_icarus_nrf9160.conf and actinius_icarus.conf.  Please choose one
  naming style, actinius_icarus_nrf9160.conf is recommended.

You could try to resolve this naming issue.

Best regards,
Dejan

Hi,

Your Build_fail.txt file appears to be empty. Can you check this and re-upload?

No.. I'm able to build and flash successfully to the Thingy91, but building for the Icarus IoT V2 does not generate an app_update.bin (or zephyr.signed.bin) file, so I'm unable to flash it.

With SB_CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y in prj.conf, nothing changed. Still no bin file.

When I included a sysbuild.conf file with SB_CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y like you said, the build fails.

Files included. See Build_Fail.txt for build log. Wasn't able to include it here.

Hi,

To summarize, when you had CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y in your prj.conf, you were able to build and flash the project to your board but you did not have files neccesary for updating the application. When you removed CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y from your project configuration and added SB_CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y in the sysbuild.conf of your project's root, you are not able to build the project anymore. Is this correct? If this is correct, can you provide a full build log including your build command?

Dejan

Yes,and as I said, I also tried building new applications from scratch. All clean builds.

Hi,

Have you tried to remove build folder before rebuilding?

RE: Flashing an application using the Actinius I/O Serial Programmer

Neso — Thu, 12 Dec 2024 11:13:39 GMT

Yes, I tried including CB_CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y in sysbuild.conf. Build fails.
Tried including it in an new app and build with same result.
Also tried building for the circuitdojo_feather/nrf9160/ns, but all builds fail.

Hi,

Do you still have CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y in your project configuration?

[quote user="Neso"]Thank you for looking into this. I've seen CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y referenced many places, but not CB_CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y.[/quote]

Please make sure that there is no typo. Correct configuration option is SB_CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT.

Dejan

Hi,

Since you are using NCS v2.8.0, sysbuild is included in your build. There is a change related to MCUboot from previous NCS versions. If you do not already have it, you should create sysbuild.conf in your project root directory and add the line SB_CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y there. You can get more information about this in Sample with MCUboot.

Dejan

Proper functionality verified. I'm able to flash to the Icarus IoT.

Nothing special about any of the builds. Add build configuration - Select board, and build configuration.

west build --build-dir path/nRF/SMS_Notifier/Icarus_build path/nRF/SMS_Notifier --pristine --board actinius_icarus/nrf9160/ns -- -DNCS_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION=NONE

west build --build-dir path/nRF/SMS_Notifier/Thingy91_build path/nRF/SMS_Notifier --pristine --board thingy91/nrf9160/ns -- -DNCS_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION=NONE

I've tried with different applications too. Same result. I'm feeling dumb as a brick here, and probably is by missing something basic. I'm new to Nordic environment. Trying to learn to see if it has potential for our project.

Hi,

Can you describe how you built for Thing91 and how for Icarus IoT board?

Can you show your build commands for both boards?

Have you verified proper functionality of your Actinius I/O Serial Programmer?

Dejan

Neso — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 14:34:24 GMT

The Thingy build includes a MCUBOOT folder and zephyr.signed.bin file.

Haven't been able to get that in any of my Icarus builds, so I'm unable to flash it with the Actinius I/O Serial Programmer.

I tried older NCS version, but same problem. Also tried an sms application I had for the Thingy. Same there.

Hi,

[quote user="Neso"]What do you mean by update files?[/quote]

I am referring to app_update.bin and zephyr.signed.bin.

[quote user="Neso"] Trying to figure that out at the moment.[/quote]

Please let me know if you have made any progress.

Haven't tried older versions. What do you mean by update files?
I see that my nrf9160 and icarus builds are missing the mcuboot folder completely. Trying to figure that out at the moment.

RE: Flashing an application using the Actinius I/O Serial Programmer

dejans — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 17:16:36 GMT

Hi,

Do you see the same behavior when using any older NCS version?
You could try the same exercise for NCS v2.4.0-v2.6.2 and for NCS v2.2.0-v2.3.0.

How are Thingy91 and Icarus IoT board related in your case regarding existence of update files?

Best regards,
Dejan
