MCUboot with sysbuild does not compile for anything but DK

boris bergman1

I'm playing a bit with MCU boot and folowed the tuturial. When I compile the sample with mcuboot from Zephyr, it works fine for the 52840DK, but when I try to compile for the 52840 dongle or the XIAO ble (also 52840) I get errors. What is going on and how do I continue? I first used sdk/toolchain 2.8.0. I upgraded to 2.9.1, but have the same issue. The project is almost completely empty and I did not add anything to it.

XIAO:

    No, I tried but I believe I do not understand how to alter the pm.yml file (or should it be pm_static.yml?) to obtain static partitions.

    Yes, it should be "pm_static.yml" for it to be used as a static partitioning file. If you already have a "pm.yml", it is sufficient to rename it to "pm_static.yml" and place it in your project folder at the same level as the src repository. Then the partition manager will pick this up and apply the static partitioning to the partitions you've defined there. 

    https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/scripts/partition_manager/partition_manager.html and https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/scripts/partition_manager/partition_manager.html are good resources explaining this.

    One option is if you already have a working build, you can open the build folder and find the generated partitions.yml, copy the contents and paste them into your pm_static.yml. Now the build system will always use this partitioning map. From here you can customize and modify the partitions as you need.

    Kind regards,
    Andreas

    Hello,

    I’m experiencing the same issue.

    I’m developing firmware with NCS v3.0.0 (and the same with 2.9.0) on the arduino_nano_33_ble/nrf52840 board. I tried building a “hello world” example using sysbuild and MCUBoot,

    but I always get a compilation error.

    .......

    It happens with any program I try.

    I’d also like to remove the original bootloader and manage the environment with nRF Connect, MCUBoot, and FOTA updates.

    Is there an example or guide to resolve this?

    I need to release a board and want to know if anyone has succeeded.

    Thanks.

    Paolo

    Hello Paolo,

    The resources mentioned here is what I understand is supposed to be working. Please review them and see if they help for your case. Maybe the original creator here has some input w.r.t if this worked for them or not.

    If you have any additional questions, I recommend you to create your own Devzone ticket, specially if the questions becomes unrelated to this one

    Kind regards,
    Andreas
