Application version string in nrfutil

[Andy]

Hi,

I was looking at the --help command of nrfutil pkg generate and I noticed that there is an application version string option.

What is the use of this option? I know that the application version integer is stored in flash in the bootloader settings struct, but I have never seen the string anywhere.

If you take a look at this link, you can see that the user can specify the application version with two different formats, either as an integer or as a string. If the type of the input is a string, this function will convert the input. E.g. the input "1.2.3" will be converted to 10203.

Best regards,

Simon

Thanks! I think that should be documented. Especially since the application string overrides the integer provided in the options.
