Can't change VDD voltage output on NRF9161-DK

[DanielDelgado]

I have an NRF9161DK 1.0.0, I was trying to do some wiring but the sensors didn't work, then I noticed that the board delivered 1.7v.

I tried changing it to 3.3v using the Board Configurator 0.3.0., I set the output to 3.3v, click on Write config, the terminal says succesful but the output doesn't change, it remains at 1.7v.

Thank you,

Daniel

Hi,

It's possible your kit has an older version of the board controller FW that weren't able to change the GPIO voltage.

You can find the newest version of the board controller FW here, and use nRFUtil to update your DK.

Best regards,

Hi Didrik, thank you for your reply. I followed you instructions but got no luck, the output of the VDD is still default.

Hi Daniel,

Can you provide details about which nRF9161-DK you have? There should be a white sticker on the board, maybe on the back.

Hi Kenneth, 

I have:

Some letters and numbers;

1.0.0; 

2024.14;

Some numbers;

Nordic Semi...

Otto Nielsens ...

Do you need the 1st and 4th data sets?

And you can just double confirm that you indeed have run the:
nrfutil device x-boardcontroller-program --traits boardController --firmware nrf9161dk_board_controller_fw_1_1_0.bin 

That Didrik linked to in his reply.

Hi Kenneth,

The problem was I uploading the .zip as if I was using the Programmer Tool, uploading the .bin changed the board version to 1.1.0 and now it shows 3.3V. 

Thank you,

Daniel
