Solved this by adding

&sim_select {
    sim = "external";
};

in a overlay file.

Ok but I plugged-in my sim but still esim is being used. I will check about disabling eSIM.

Congratulation!

I would try to just plugin your SIM card. If that doesn't work, I guess, you need to ask actinius ;-).

I was able to connect to the test MQTT broker but with the help of eSIM but I want to do this with the help of my SIM. I tried understanding modules/network to see where to make this change but did'nt understand.

I've tested the mqtt sample for the nRF9160, so

"nrf/samples/nrf9160/nrf_cloud_mqtt_multi_service"

The sample you mention "nrf/samples/net/mqtt" requires some additional confs. A easy way to start is to copy the "boards/nrf9160dk_nrf9160_ns.conf" to "boards/actinius_icarus_ns.conf". That should at least build. If it runs, is something different.

Ok, I will try with west as well.

[quote userid="5203" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/100600/what-changes-to-make-in-mqtt-example-for-actinius-icarus/430418"]I was building it without any additional .conf or .overlay. But I've only tested, if it builds, not, if it runs ;-[/quote]

was this for https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf/tree/v2.3.0/samples/net/mqtt or mqtt_multi_service as you previously mentioned for actinius_icarus_ns?

> But I need to work only with MQTT

to work, you need to solve your build issues. In my experience it's easier to start with a working sample than to fix a broken one.

> this will do a pristine build.

Hope so, but maybe wrong. I would go with "west ...".

I was building it without any additional .conf or .overlay. But I've only tested, if it builds, not, if it runs ;-).

But I need to work only with MQTT and the mqqt_multi_service that you mentioned is different from my requirement.

[quote userid="5203" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/100600/what-changes-to-make-in-mqtt-example-for-actinius-icarus/430323"]

What's not possible is to build the icarus image after the DK image. At least, if you not either provide a separate build directory with "-d icarus" or use "--pristine" the cleanup the previous build. I guess both

[/quote]

I am working with nrf connect in visual studio so I am building :

this will do a pristine build. I am not using west commands.

My doubt is do I need to include any .conf files or .overlay files seperately for actinius_icarus_ns to solve the build errors?

Anyone's help is appreciated as I am still not able to solve this issue.

Let me recommend, not to provide what you think you are doing. Rather provide, what you actually do (what you type in the sh).

"nrf/samples/nrf9160/nrf_cloud_mqtt_multi_service" builds with "west build -b actinius_icarus_ns" without errors on NCS 2.3.0.

"west build -b actinius_icarus_ns -d icarus" and

"west build -b actinius_icarus_ns --pristine"

works for you.

I tried it for one of the boards that was mentioned in the https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf/tree/v2.3.0/samples/net/mqtt : nrfdk_nrf9160_ns, it was building without any errors but the errors were coming for actinius_icarus_ns. Do i need to include a board file for icarus as well. I am not understanding.

P.S: I am not that well versed with the nordic programming as I am new to this.

Looks to be related to toolchain, did you move the project or folder, can you run a west update? or create a new project with MQTT sample and try again.

You can try to build for a different device but looks not to be to related when looking at the output that you provided.

Yes I build a number of other projects of my own with the same sdk : I2C, UART etc and it was working fine so now I am confused as to why there are a lot of build errors. \

I have looked at the documentation already it did not help.

is this occuring because I am building for another board which was not specified under the sample? I am building it for actinius_icarus_ns

Hi,

Have you followed our installation guide on the nRF connect for desktop, with the toolchain manager? This should be "plug and play", but seems you are getting a few errors are you able to build any other samples wit no issues?

Getting started :https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/2.3.0/nrf/getting_started.html

Make sure to build for the correct board: https://docs.actinius.com/icarus/board-files
