"storage_partition" status after firmware Update

[Bryan]

OS: Windows 10

NCS: 2.0.0

We are still in the development stage and haven't touched firmware update, but need to make a decision regarding the hardware now.  

Currently we store communication parameters in the "storage_partition" of the flash using NVS.   

        storage_partition: partition@7a000 {

            label = "storage";

            reg = <0x0007A000 0x00006000>;

        };

We can restore those parameters by synchronizing this module to the others.  However, it isn't the best experience to have the customer re-sync after every firmware update.  So the question is simple.

Is the "storage_partition" of the flash erased during MCU Boot firmware update?

Hi Bryan,

MCUboot should not overwrite the storage_partition.

However, it is always a good idea to double check, so I recommend that you do some testing to be certain.

Best regards,
