Newer SDK samples do not compile/run on old 9160DK hardware (without onboard flash)

Hi,

It turns-out that all you need to do is to specify the correct board revision number (i.e. "0.9.0") in VCS. Then all samples run smoothly, even Asset Tracker v2, as tested in SDK 2.6.1. The trick was to delete all previous builds/trials, deselect any 0_14_0 .conf files from the build, and start from scratch, after setting the correct revision number.

Thank you

which SDK version you were using?

ATV2 NCS SDK V2.6.1 clearly mentions external flash as a requirement

So those who have an older 9160DK that does not have an external flash mounted, cannot test Asset Tracker v2 any more?

External flash is required for Asset Tracker V2.

Also, Board Controller Firmware version must be >=v2.0.1 to enable pin routing to the external flash.

Moreover, only Modem Firmware version 1.3.6 is compatible with NCS 2.6.1: Modem firmware (nordicsemi.com)
