nRF Connect: Partition Manager - adding additional partition

[Alex P]

Hi,

I am trying to add an additional storage partition in flash to my project, however, to some reason, pm.yml file is not getting picked up during the build and I am not able to see my partition in partitions.yml, once it gets generated. 

This is the content of pm.yml:

storage:

  size: 0x1000

  placement:

    after: mcuboot_primary

I am not getting any errors from partition manager, too. 

I have tried to define it in pm_static.yml and it seems to be picking it up, however, complaining about the gap as I am using MCUBOOT, so not able to follow this route.

Please advice what is the best way to add this new flash partition to my project.

Hello,

It must be added as static partition in your pm_static.yml file. For example:

# Place storage partition at the end of cpuapp RRAM. Note: actual end
# address is 0x175000 (1524kB) if all RRAM is allocated to the application core.
# https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-find-my/blob/950dfd9d69443bc1eb5b098c08522e7c7c7b06f1/samples/locator_tag/boards/nrf54l15dk_nrf54l15_cpuapp.overlay#L7
storage:
  size: 0x1000
  address: 0x164000
  end_address: 0x165000
  region: flash_primary

Best regards,
