I am used to using Segger, but am switching to west for various reasons. The main reason is to create a CI/CD pipeline.
I built a sample project with west, didn't see any errors, but I noticed there is no merged.hex or app_update.bin file produced in the build folder. I am guessing west does things a bit differently than Segger. What file should be used for DFU updates, if there is no app_update.bin. What file should be flashed onto the board using J-Link, if not merged.hex?

CMake Deprecation Warning at /opt/nordic/ncs/v1.7.1/zephyr/cmake/app/boilerplate.cmake:37 (cmake_policy):
The OLD behavior for policy CMP0079 will be removed from a future version

The cmake-policies(7) manual explains that the OLD behaviors of all
policies are deprecated and that a policy should be set to OLD only under
specific short-term circumstances. Projects should be ported to the NEW
behavior and not rely on setting a policy to OLD.
