RE: Make MCUboot run without enabling serial

Fixed... The error was me editing the wrong project file.

The right project file is:

mcuboot\boot\zephyr\prj.conf

And just adding:

CONFIG_SERIAL=n

Fixed my issue. Thanxs for suggestions and help

This is for the nRF9160 right? I've never see any output from mcuboot on start-up. Upon starting any nRF9160 sample or custom program I would only see:

Application Started

Followed by the rest of my code. This is all silenced when setting CONFIG_SERIAL=n. The only time I would see information close to that is when I invoke NVS which would show:

[00:00:01.230,987] [0m<inf> fs_nvs: 102 Sectors of 4096 bytes[0m
[00:00:01.230,987] [0m<inf> fs_nvs: alloc wra: 0, ff0[0m
[00:00:01.230,987] [0m<inf> fs_nvs: data wra: 0, 0[0m

But that is again silenced by SERIAL=n. Have you invoked something in either your code or in your prj.conf to display this kind of information. Maybe some kind of logging configuration?

EDIT:

Ah ok, re-read your OP, so you are adding MCUBoot to your project which isn't normally done in the example files. Looking at the MCUBoot template, have you tried setting #define MCUBOOT_HAVE_LOGGING to 0?

My mcuboot outputs:

A quick question I would have is, did you maybe put the CONFIG_SERIAL=n into the wrong prj.conf? I sometimes mix up the folder files when I'm working across multiple application folders as they are all called the same thing in every sample and custom application folder. 😅

Thanks. Then I will start figuring out of the prolem is elsewhere. I will get back with my finding :)

Are you sure you have disabled the serial port? I have added CONFIG_SERIAL=n to SPM and my own custom project and the device no longer prints printk() or printf() to the Link Monitor.
