merged.hex only updated on pristine build?

tc531

Is it normal behaviour that the merged.hex file I send to my target is only updated on pristine builds? These take ages.

I’m testing this on the blinky sample, but others also do the same. I’ve tried regenerating the build several times, updating west and reinstalling tool chains.

If I edit main.c and just run “build” in VS Code, it creates a new zephyr.elf but never calls the command to update merged.hex.

Having to do a pristine build for every code change is too painful..

Hey @tc531 it should update every build (if there’s a change)

OK thanks. Something is broken then in my VS Code West World.

Sometimes deleting your build folder resolves things like this. You are using Nordic’s plugin right?
