RE: MCUboot from different branch

Hello Riccardo,

You may be able to change a single line in Nordic's sdk-nrf manifest file. The file I'm speaking of for me lives locally in [west_workspace]/nrf/west.yml. I happen to be using Nordics nrf SDK version 1.6.1. In Nordic's github repository I find this manifest file at:

* github.com/.../west.yml

The older sdk-nrf manifest file I have has this excerpt to select and download 1.6.1's chosen version of MCUBoot:

106     # NCS repositories.
107     #
108     # Some of these are also Zephyr modules which have NCS-specific
109     # changes.
110     - name: mcuboot
111       repo-path: sdk-mcuboot
112       revision: v1.7.99-ncs2

One caveat to this suggestion, I haven't manually adjusted the manifest for either sdk-nrf nor Nordic's fork of Zephyr RTOS project. I could do this, and then I would issue a `west update` command to upgrade or downgrade those repositories to their new versions. But I'm not sure whether my local change to nrf-sdk manifest will persist. That is, if I update nrf-sdk will my local changes be overwritten? I think they may not, because I have made local changes to a couple of Zephyr fork source files, and those changes are not overwritten when I `west update`.

And just a mention, local changes I make in Zephyr or other third party repos I am responsible to remember and keep track of them. These are never for long term development, as I can't keep such changes under my own revision control. They're usually just for sanity checks and short short term tests.

Hope this can help you, Riccardo!
