nRF Connect SDK 1.3.0 multi-image build stuck

[rerickson]

I am switching from standard Zephyr and I am trying out nRF connect SDK v1.3.0. When I am building my app for mcuboot, it hangs after configuring the child image (mcuboot).  If I build mcuboot or the app by itself it works just fine.  It seems like something is hanging in the partition_manager script.  I see a python process spinning in Activity Monitor forever, when I kill it, then the build process fails out.  See my output here:

Any ideas on how to solve this?

I looked at your partitions yml files and saw that the start address and size of mcuboot_secondary varied and the size of mcuboot_primary had changed.

This may cause some problems since some of the data regarding validation are stored at the end of the slot, and that may cause some problems if the size has changed. I talked to one of the developers and it is recommended to you to use a static configuration (pm_static.yml) with the exact same values (size and start address) as from the initial partition.yml file (unless it actually needs to be different due to new requirements).

Best regards,
