Settings API Example Compiling, but not working

Question

I'm attempting to use the Settings API save and retrieve data from nRF52832 FLASH memory. I can build and run the example application provided in the Settings documentation (link below) 
 https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/zephyr/services/settings/index.html#example_persist_runtime_state 
 The entries in my prj.conf file are: 
 
 CONFIG_SETTINGS =y 
 CONFIG_REBOOT =y 
 
 The application runs and reboots as intended, but the write or read from FLASH is not working. Here is the serial port output: 
 
*** Booting nRF Connect SDK v2.9.0-7787b2649840 *** *** Using Zephyr OS v3.7.99-1f8f3dc29142 *** foo: 1 *** Booting nRF Connect SDK v2.9.0-7787b2649840 *** *** Using Zephyr OS v3.7.99-1f8f3dc29142 *** foo: 1 *** Booting nRF Connect SDK v2.9.0-7787b2649840 *** *** Using Zephyr OS v3.7.99-1f8f3dc29142 *** foo: 1 *** Booting nRF Connect SDK v2.9.0-7787b2649840 *** *** Using Zephyr OS v3.7.99-1f8f3dc29142 *** foo: 1 
 
 What else must I do to make the Settings API correctly save and restore data? 
 
 Thanks

I finally have it working and I'm grateful for the help. 
 The missing piece was a file that Sasheel had in boards directory: nrf52dk_nrf52832.conf 
 While I'm grateful to have it working, but I do find it very inconvenient that this required file was not mentioned in the Settings documentation. Can Nordic please explain how I can be aware of such dependencies in the future? 
 Thank you, 
 Jim
