Thanks for the feedback. Here is the Example for MCUboot that shows how to add custom MCUboot configuration for a project. Hope it can help.

Hi Amanda

Thank you for your help. With the additional instructions your example compiles and runs.

Using your example I was able to figure our my problem: The file structure in the sysbuild folder was wrong. It is quite confusing the ncs also contains example code from zephyr which does essentially the same thing, but does not work. By bad luck I used zephyr/samples/sysbuild/with_mcuboot as example. And it uses a different file structure in the sysbuild folder.

It would be nice if the build tool (sysbuild?) would do check on what files it expects and emits some warnings or hints.

BR,
Lukas

Hi,

Duplicate board/nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpuapp.conf and overlay for nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpuapp_ns and add SB_CONFIG_MCUBOOT_USE_ALL_AVAILABLE_RAM=y to the sysbuild.conf.

Hi Amanda

Thank you for sharing this example. Is there a special setting required in the build config?

When I try to build it, TFM fails to compile:

Hi,

Here is my example devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../peripheral_5F00_key.7z for NCS v2.8.0 nRF5340 mcuboot using QSPI external flash.
The log would look like this:

Beware that this code/configuration is not fully tested or qualified and should be considered provided “as-is”. Please test it with your application and let me know if you find any issues.
