SPM config options

[miked531]

I would like to modify the way the SPM is built, specifically by setting CONFIG_BOOT_BANNER=n but do not want to modify any files under the ncs directory. I tried the solution I found here: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/56459/watchdog-with-bootloader-on-nrf9160 but the partition_manager script chokes with an error. This happens with the zephyr samples also. I'm using ncs release v1.2.0. You can reproduce it by:

add the following line to CMakeLists.txt:
set(spm_CONF_FILE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/spm.conf)

create the spm.conf file with the following (or anything, really) line:
CONFIG_BOOT_BANNER=n

then try to build:
west build -b nrf9160_pca10090ns

If this is the wrong way to do this, can you suggest the right way?

Hi, 

Everything you do looks correct. The only thing is that if the build-folder already exists, only changes since last time will get built to speed up the process. That can sometimes lead to or hide errors.

You should remove the build folder and build it again.

I still get the error when the build directory is removed. This is easy to re-create. Use any sample, including hello_world.

Hi, 

I follow the steps under 1.1 Set it up in the NCS tutorial and refer to 2.2.2 Modify device tree and configurations of a child image in this tutorial and your produce to create this hello_world_test.zip to test. I did not see any issue. If you still have the issue, I would suggest you do update the ncs and try again.

cd ncs/nrf
git checkout master
git pull
git checkout v1.2.0
west update

That worked. Thanks! (I had the set spm_CONF_FILE command wrong)
