RE: nRF9160 Custom board debug issue

Vincent44 — Tue, 10 Oct 2023 08:11:03 GMT

I finally solved the problem.

Don't know why, but the file boards/arm/myCustomBoard/board.cmake (which is, I believe, automatically generated when creating a new board) had the following line :

board_runner_args(jlink "--device=nrf91" "--speed=4000")

This data is used to start the debug session. I tried to start the debug session from command line to get some extra details on the error. Turn out "nrf91" is not recognized.

Changing the line to the "nrf9160" solved my issue.

board_runner_args(jlink "--device=nrf9160" "--speed=4000")

Not sure what happened here. I suspect a modification in the SDK/toolchain, to include the new nRF9161 SiP ? But the SEGGER suite is not ready yet. Or something along those line ?

Anyway, it's all working now, I can debug my project.

Hello,

It is the issue with custom board. Have you followed the guidelines https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/hardware/porting/board_porting.html , https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/config_and_build.html while developing board file for custom board?

Hello,

Yes, debugging a project on the nRF9160DK works fine.

So far, the case can remain public, since the attached test project is just an empty while(1).

hello,

You have no issue with nRf9160DK while debugging? I will pass the generate information to the respective team. Do you want me to make the case private?

Thanks.

Kazi
