Running NVS sample on a custom board crashes

Hi,

Sigurd is out of the office, so I take this case.

Do you run nvs sample code on your board? Does it work as expected?

Could you refer to the NVS sample to assign the address?

Regards,
Amanda H.

update -

I copied the nvs sample code into my application.
Strangely, nvs_mount() does not crash when running in my application context.

However,

I do get some nvs initialization errors, saying 'invalid_address', which is out of the partition's range defined in my board's *.dts file...

What is going on in here ???

...been away for a while, surprisingly the problem was not solved ;)

Anyway,

I've migrated to 3.0.0, still the same problem.

did recover (from within 'connected devices' pane in NRF connect VS code addon, same problem.

However, there is ** MPU FAULT *** Data Access Violation message on the RTT terminal window (when single stepping nvs_mount() line)

chatgpt and co. hint that it has something to do with the partitions...

any advise will be greatly appreciated, as this is really frustrating..

Thanks

Hi!

I don't see anything wrong in your config file.

[quote user=""]while 'myboard' build crashes when mounting.[/quote]

Do you have any more information about the crash, maybe from the log? What kind of crash is it?

Also, could you try doing nrfjprog --recover, and then flash the sample again, and see if the issue persists?

Hey,

Attached is build/zephyr/.config (I assume this is the one you meant).
(had to rename it to config.txt due to some upload constraint)

Thanks

Thanks!

It seems pretty much identical to the one built for the DK.

Do you have the compiled .config file as well?

Hi Sigurd thanks for your prompt response.

What should I look for in zephyr.dts...? (attached)

Hi!

I suggest checking the compiled zephyr.dts , and see if there are any differences there that could explain it.
