Onomondo static profile with nrf9161 custom board not working

[simon884]

Hi,

I'm working with a custom board build with an nrf9161, I've created my board from nrf9161dk board (change some pin and defintion), I'm able to flash and build? I can use my custom led, my i2c bus, so I thought my custom board is well defined.

Right now I'm trying to use onomondo softsim profile, but ùy softsim never connect. To debug I've tried to do this here but same result not working. Just to know I have tried my source code with nordic nrf9160dk and it's working I'm able to have lte event and I can see my sim connected on onomondo, so the bug is not on my code...

Here is AT command I have tried :

[00:00*** Booting nRF Connect SDK v3.5.99-ncs1-1 ***
[00:00:00.326,324] <inf> nrf_modem: Initializing libmodem 2.6.1-lte-11b6ed4846a8

OK

OK
> AT+CGACT=1,1
ERROR

> AT+CGMR
mfw_nrf91x1_2.0.1
OK

I can upload my board definition, tell me. Don't understand why it's working on 9160dk and not on my board, maybe bad board definition, I hope it's not an hardware issue with my custom board

Thanks for help

Hi Simon,

Are you still not able to make the connection or did you do something to your kit? Is this a different problem or is it the same you had two months ago?

All code is running as expected, how are you confirming this?

So the mtrace file states that there's nothing captured in it. Was this tried with your custom board? Are you able to capture somethign successfully with one of our DKs and your code?

Best regards

Asbjørn

Yes I have always the same problem :(

yes all code works fine on nrf9160dk and nrf9161dk all in non Secure. I can confirm this because I’m able to reach onomondo and i'm connected to LTE. But the same code doesn’t work on my custom board build with nrf9161 in non secure also.

ok understood but why my file size is 7.5MB what is inside? I don’t try with dk board; It's look like cellular monitor can't send AT command over uart1

Hi Simon,

Your trace file cannot be opened in Cellular Monitor or converted to pcap. It seems that the file got corrupted or was not uploaded properly. Can you take new modem trace and upload it? Please verify that it can be opened in the Cellular Monitor before uploading.

Best regards,
Dejan
