Update on the warnings disappearing:

"It happens because the files with the warnings in doesn't get re-compiled because they don't have any changes. Ninja (and Make, and therefore CMake and West) only recompile files with changes, to speed up builds. But if the file doesn't get recompiled, the compiler never sees the problem that generates the warning."

We appreciate the feedback, and this may be something we can improve the user experience on in a future update.

The flash and debug options disappearing is a known bug, and is something we are working to fix.

Hi Øivind,

thanks for your answers. Looking forward to the feedback from your colleagues.

If I may point out something else, I noticed that from time to time, some of the options from the Actions menu are missing after a pristine build. This happens randomly and not with a certain frequence.
I did find a workaround : select another project from the Applications Menu (TestApp1) and the select again my project (TestApplication2). By doing so, all options are back in the Actions menu.

Best regards.

Hi,

1 & 2. These are because you set "Enable Debug Options" when creating the build configuration. You can make a new build configuration without that setting to get rid of them.

3. A non-secure project consists of a non-secure image and a secure image, in this case the secure partition manager. The board is changed when building the secure image. This is intentional, and the application is still non-secure.

4. I have passed this feedback along to the developers. I will update you when they respond.
