nRF9160DK read/write string to Flash in mqtt_simple

[cachro2]

Hi,

I would like to write a string to flash in mqtt_simple SDK example using latest modem firmware and ncs v1.4.0. I based my code off the zephyr example (samples/subsys/nvs/src/main.c)

Added the following to proj.conf

CONFIG_FLASH=y
CONFIG_FLASH_PAGE_LAYOUT=y
CONFIG_NVS=y
CONFIG_MPU_ALLOW_FLASH_WRITE=y

and the following functions to mqtt_simple

        strcpy(wbuf, "Hello\n");

        // Write mode

        else {
                printk("%s", rbuf);
        }
}

Then in main()

void main(void)

{

int err;

printk("The MQTT simple sample started\n");

read_write_nvs_sys();

...

void main(void)

	printk("The MQTT simple sample started\n");

    read_write_nvs_sys();
    
    ...
    ...
        

It compiles and runs but I get the following error in LTE Link Monitor which causes a cyclic reboot:

I tried running the example code given in this post: 
https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/52095/nrf9160dk-storing-to-and-reading-from-flash
and here: 
https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/47275/why-doesn-t-nvs-write-data-to-flash-correctly 

but they both use:

DT_FLASH_AREA_STORAGE_OFFSET and DT_FLASH_DEV_NAME 

which return as undefined in my project. Seems like defining these and replacing:

FLASH_AREA_OFFSET(storage) and DT_CHOSEN_ZEPHYR_FLASH_CONTROLLER_LABEL)

would solve my problem.

Thoughts?

Thank you,

Robert
