No nrf9160 board selection in build config

[DannisWong]

I found a issue, I open a sample project " v2.5.0\nrf\sample\cellular\location"

when I click "Add build configuration", no nrf9160 option and only nrf52840 can be selected.

I make some research and try to run "west update" and try again, but get the same result

please help to fix

It sounds like the issue could be related to missing or incomplete support for the nrf9160 board in your environment.

Check the SDK Version: Ensure that you're using an SDK version that supports the nrf9160 board. Some older SDK versions may not have full support for the nrf9160.Block Blast

Yes, you can short SB19 on the nRF5340 DK to allow your external board's VDD (e.g., 1.8V) to supply VIO_REF for debugging, as long as the external board provides a stable VDD within the supported range (1.8V to 3.6V). This setup eliminates the need for level shifters for programming and debugging.
