Hi again and apologies for the delay in my response.

So it looks like the downloaded image needs to be signed using imgtool for the MCUboot to be able to use it. Could you confirm that you've done this?

Thanks for clearing that up! I don't have an answer for you immediately but I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Hi,

+Just to make sure I understand what you're asking: you are running nrf/samples/nrf9160/http_update/application_update with the modifications you've specified in your case, yes?

-Yes

+Which NCS version are you using?

-I am using NCS 1.5.0. "What should I do if NCS 1.6.0 is released in the future?" I asked to say. Whenever a new NCS is released, all I need to update my code using FOTA is the using a pm_static.yml file?

Thanks,

Have a nice day

Hi!

Just to make sure I understand what you're asking: you are running nrf/samples/nrf9160/http_update/application_update with the modifications you've specified in your case, yes?

Which NCS version are you using (NCS 1.6.0 does not exist, so I'm assuming either NCS 1.5.0 or the master branch)?

And then you're seeing this:

*** Booting Zephyr OS build v2.4.99-ncs1  ***
I: Starting bootloader
I: Swap type: perm
I: Image upgrade secondary slot -> primary slot
I: Erasing the primary slot
I: Copying the secondary slot to the primary slot: 0xb2d4 bytes
I: Bootloader chainload address offset: 0x28000
I: Jumping to the first image slot

and you're wondering how to run the new application image that's just been put in S1?

If this is your question, then the answer is that a device reset is necessary to use the new image.

If you clear up my questions first, I can help you figure out why the device isn't resetting after the update.

Best regards,

Heidi
