Adding SB_CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y, power consumption becomes very high

v2.8.0,nrf54l15,hello world demo (Add CONFIG_SERIAL=n to pri. conf),The normal compilation is 3uA, then add sysbuild.conf and write SB_CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y

, and then compile again. The power consumption becomes 325uA, which is a bit high. Is this normal? Is there any way to downgrade the power consumption

  • Hello,

    MCUBoot should not affect the idle current when the application is running. As a test, could you please try disabling the serial driver in MCUBoot to see if you still get the increased current draw?

    To do this:

    1. Create a folder named "sysbuild" in the project root directory.

    2. Inside this folder, create a Kconfig fragment for MCUBoot by naming the file mcuboot.conf.

    3. Add the following line to mcuboot.conf:

    CONFIG_SERIAL=n

    4. Perform a pristine build since we added a new configuration file

    Best regards,
