Hi!
I'm struggling with using mcumgr to upload a file to my board. There is probably a problem with overlapping CONFIG dependencies, but I'm not sure which of them may be the problematic ones. For tests I'm using nrf9160dk_nrf9160_ns and ncs v2.5.0.

I have an application that uses uploading/downloading files to/from a board. Last working version was using ncs v2.2.0-rc1. After switching to ncs v2.5.0 the mcumgr commands were returning NPM Timeouts. So I've figured that there is a problem with Kconfig options and I've started an investigation.

Using a sample from zephyr/samples/subsys/mgmt/mcumgr/smp_svr (ncs v2.5.0) with configuration (from README) shown below:

      To build the serial sample with file-system and shell management support:

         west build \
            -b frdm_k64f \
            samples/subsys/mgmt/mcumgr/smp_svr \
            -- \
            -DEXTRA_CONF_FILE='overlay-serial.conf;overlay-fs.conf;overlay-shell-mgmt.conf'

I am able to perform mcumgr echo, mcumgr fs upload and mcumgr fs download operations.

Using my application with ncs v2.2.0-rc1 and the following Kconfig option regarding mcumgr selected:

	select FILE_SYSTEM
	select MCUMGR
	select MCUMGR_CMD_FS_MGMT
	select MCUMGR_SMP_SHELL
	select UART_CONSOLE_MCUMGR

I am also able to perform mcumgr echo, mcumgr fs upload and mcumgr fs download operations.

BUT using my application with ncs v2.5.0 and the following Kconfig option regarding mcumgr selected:

	select FILE_SYSTEM
	select MCUMGR
	select MCUMGR_CMD_FS_MGMT
	select MCUMGR_SMP_SHELL
	select UART_CONSOLE_MCUMGR
	select NET_BUF
	select ZCBOR
	select CRC

I am NOT able to perform mcumgr echo, mcumgr fs upload and mcumgr fs download operations.

So I've decided to add missing Kconfig options to my not working application. I've added all missing options from the working sample (zephyr/samples/subsys/mgmt/mcumgr/smp_svr). That way I'm able to perform mcumgr echo, mcumgr fs download operations, BUT the mcumgr fs upload operation does not work. I've tried everything. Probably there is some dependency issue regarding mcumgr Kconfig options. My application also sets some additional Kconfig options like CONFIG_SHELL_MINIMAL etc.

Below there are logs both from working and not working application regarding uploading a file (the same in both cases) using mcumgr fs upload command. The command used is mcumgr --conntype serial --connstring "dev=/dev/ttyACM0,baud=115200" -ldebug fs upload test_file /factory/provision.cbor.

I honestly don't know what the problem can be. I'm using the same mcumgr Kconfig options as in the working example. Do you know what may be cause of that behavior? Do you know why the mcumgr fs upload command does not work but the other works just fine?

Thank you very much for help. If you decide that this should be converted to an issue, I will create one.

This repo is only for help with zephyr, ncs questions should be directed to https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/

Error 1 can mean any number of things, that go tool is an antique, use https://github.com/thedjnK/AuTerm/ with SMP version 2 and see what the real error is
