Building sample project files for Actinius Icarus (nRF9160) w/ nRFConnect extension for VSCode don't work - but do work when flashed over Actinius Console serial programmer

danielms

VSCode nrFConnect Extension w/ 2.2.0 SDK and Toolchain

Board Chip: nRF9160

I'm trying to build this sample: https://docs.actinius.com/getting-started/samples/iss-position - build works fine. When I flash it to the icarus board using the actinus serial programmer it doesn't output anything on the nRF serial terminal program.

However, when I go to https://console.actinius.io/serial-programmer and use the prebuilt sample for iss-position it works, and I can view the output in the nRF serial terminal program.

I've tried the build config w/ 'nrf9160dk_nrf9160_ns' and 'actinius_icarus_ns', and neither work. In the past with this board I was able to build this iss-position sample and flash it, and get an output.

I'm not sure what to do to troubleshoot this - I can't see how the samples on the actinius console were built, and when I build them on my computer and flash them, i get no output in the terminal, so debugging is kind of impossible.

Here is the build log for the last pristine build I did for the iss-position sample, w/ the 'actinius_icarus_ns' board config :
