Application won't boot with NVS enabled - nrf9160

[tomtomtom2401]

Hello,

We are trying to get the NVS example on our nrf9160 DK running. The build and the flash process looks fine but the application won't boot. Not even the typical line ( *** Booting Zephyr OS build v3.1.99-ncs1 ***) is visible. We searched around a bit and found an issue with an external flash memory ( No boot with CONFIG_NVS or LITTLEFS enabled) with the same problem and similar behaviour. We tried to take the mqtt-simple-sample (in which we would like to use the NVS features) and when enabling the CONFIG_NVS parameter the application won't boot anymore.

For me it seems like there is a mismatch of the start-address like in this issue ( Application won't run - erroneous flash address range ), but we are using Visiual Studio Code for development and not the Segger Studio.

Are we doing something wrong or is there a general problem in the SDK? (we are using NCS v2.1.0)

Thanks!

Hello,

An issue was just fixed (last 24hours): https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf/pull/8956 

So to try the fix do the following, go to toolchain manager -> [v2.1.0] arrow down -> open bash

cd nrf
git pull
git checkout main
west update

cd ..
cd zephyr/samples/subsys/nvs/
*delete  build folders*
west build -b nrf9160dk_nrf9160_ns
west flash

Best regards,
Kenneth
