&lt;p&gt;This looks mostly good, except for pm_static.yml. Try&amp;nbsp;defining what the first region is (in this example it is called nrf5_mbr for historical reasons, but it does not matter). Like this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre class="ui-code" data-mode="text"&gt;app:
  address: 0x10000
  region: flash_primary
nrf5_mbr:
  address: 0x0
  end_address: 0x10000
  placement:
    after:
    - start
  region: flash_primary
  size: 0x10000&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Testing on my end when also adding &lt;code&gt;CONFIG_FLASH_LOAD_OFFSET=0x10000&lt;/code&gt; in prj.conf, I see that the app is placed at&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;0x10000. (Of course, with nothing placed at address 0 this application will never run, so you will need a bootlaoder or something else at address 0 in addition).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
