Need help on enabling MCUBoot on a custom board based on the NRF5340 (BL5340PA) using internal flash for ncs version 2.6.2

[Hao Tran]

Hello, I' needing some help on setting up the MCUBoot for the BL5340PA using the ncs 2.6.2. Currently I have the below add on for the prj.conf for the application core:

CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y

CONFIG_NCS_SAMPLE_MCUMGR_BT_OTA_DFU=y

The built successfully went through but the problem is that I can't see the BLE device anymore and I don't really know where to start to debug the problem as the image was built with mcuboot enable. 

Would be greatly appreciated if anyone can provide a step by step walkthrough the process of setting up the MCUBoot for the nrf5340 (BL5340PA) on the ncs 2.6.2 !

Hi,

The course https://academy.nordicsemi.com/courses/nrf-connect-sdk-intermediate/lessons/lesson-8-bootloaders-and-dfu-fota/ support v2.6.2.
I suggest that you take this course and see if that helps.

Then let me know if you still have problems and I will help you figure it out.

Regards,
Sigurd Hellesvik

Hello thank you for the link! I was able to went through the tutorial however, I still have some problems setting up the pm_static.yml for the internal flash usage with FOTA using BLE. Any guidance or example code would be great! Below is my pm_static.yml
