nRF7002 DK - DFU with External Flash build error

[Hemakumar Arumugam]

I’m using nRF Connect SDK v2.8.0 and working on BLE OTA (DFU) for the nRF7002 DK. I followed the Nordic “DFU with external flash” exercise and integrated it into the Wi-Fi station example, but I’m encountering the following build error:

C:/ncs/v2.8.0/zephyr/subsys/dfu/img_util/flash_img.c: In function 'flash_img_init':
C:/ncs/v2.8.0/nrf/include/flash_map_pm.h:47:22: error: 'PM_mcuboot_primary_ID' undeclared (first use in this function)
   47 | #define PM_ID(label) PM_##label##_ID

Could you please suggest what might be missing?
Is there any configuration or file I need to add to fix this issue?

I’ve also attached my project ZIP file for reference.

Hello,

The issue is that the guide that you are following is intended for the nRF52840DK, which uses it's QSPI for flash, but you are trying to use the QSPI for WiFi. This means that you need to redefine the external flash as an external SPI flash.

Please see the modified project. The main changes are in prj.conf (don't remember if I did any changes there, actually), the app.overlay and mcuboot.overlay.

I also added SB_CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y in your sysbuild.conf.

I tried building the modified project (sta_2) you suggested, but it threw the following build error:

Can you please share the build command that you used, and the entire build log (not just where it shows the first error).

I am sorry. I don't know why I didn't pick up what board you were using. I was trying testing your application for the nRF52840dk/nrf52840, which was why I changed your app.overlay and sysbuild\mcuboot.overlay.

Attached is the updated version, with your original overlay files. Then I guess the only real change is in the sysbuild.conf, but I attached the whole thing, just in case there is anything else that I did.

Best regards,

Edvin
