printk does not work - Nordic DevAcademy lesson 3 exercise 1

[s23]

Greetings

I am following along with the nrf SDK fundamentals, where I am doing lesson 3 exercise 1, which is related to printk. I have flashed my nrf5340 dev kit and it does not print out onto the serial terminal when I select my port etc. I have pressed the reset button after flashing, and even tried using the reset option in vscode.

Any idea why printk would not work?

Hello,

I tried the sample from the course, and it is working fine on my side. I'm not sure why it's not working for you. Make sure you are selecting the proper communication port. For nRF5340, there should be two ports available below the tab "connected devices." If you are trying the same port for the whole time, see if it is working with another port. See the screenshot below:

 

Also, make sure you are selecting the terminal with the correct configuration, as mentioned here.

 

Kind Regards,

Hi Abhijith

Apologies for wasting your time. It seems like my build configuration was incorrect. I selected the "nrf5340audio' build config instead of the "standard" non-secure build. I changed that and the example works.

Thank you.
