Where to find nRF9160DK hardware files (schematics, layouts)

[zazas321]

Hello. I would like to learn more about nRF cellular module and how it works.

I was a little bit confused when I first received the development kit and noticed that there is weird microcontroller on the development board (MK22FN128VL110).

After reading the nRF9160D in the products section:

https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-hardware/nrf9160-dk

I could not find any information about this. I was under the impression that this board only houses nRF91 + nRF52840. Can someone help me understand what is the purpose of having additional MCU on the board?

Also, I was hoping to find hardware files so I can look into this more but there is no hardware files attached for the nRF9160DK. In the infocenter, it mentions that the hardware files can be found on product page:

but the only documents availble on the product page are the following:

Hello,

The purpose of this microcontroller is to work as the interface MCU, i.e debugger on the board which handles the programming of the nRF52840 and nRF9160.

You can find the hardware files in the downloads section of the Product page when you scroll all the way to the bottom.

Best regards,
Karl
