nRF9160 Project setup tutorial?

[Oleh]

Dear Team,

is there a tutorial on how to start from scratch a project for zephyr nrf91? With all configurations and flags...

That would be great!

Thanks & cheer

Hello Oleh,

Currently, we have the Getting Started with nRF9160 DK available here. This covers everything you need to get started.

Best regards,

Hi Oeyvind,

thank you for the link, this is good when starting from existing source and/or project. Could you please share the link for setting the new project? Are there any docs on this?

Best

Hi Oleh,

No, at this moment, we do not have any examples that start from scratch. There are only three examples linked in the tutorial, Secure Boot, Asset Tracker, and AT Client. The best solution would be to examine these examples and follow the Getting Started Assistant in nRF Connect, then try to start with a new project and copy the needed functions from the examples.

Best regards,

Oeyvind

I followed rdpoor's answer  in the link below. 

devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../129639

I made a new folder and copy files in asset_tracker folder into it, and changed names of some files.

/Users/username/Documents/nRF9160/ncs/nrf/samples/nrf9160/test_project

Then I built and run it.

It works at least in my case.

Hi Øyvid,

Do you have an update on the requested tutorial above or when one will be available? It is not easy to figure it all out by reverse engineering the few examples. I would very much appreciate a tutorial like the ones you have for the "old" SDK on YouTube for example setting up and configuring a project in SES.

Hi Marc, 

Can you please elaborate on what's missing in the tutorial? The nRF9160 is still in the beginning and we are working to make tutorials, SW, etc better.

One important detail I forgot in the initial response was the nRF Connect SDK documentation itself. There might be more details there which are not in the tutorial.
Be aware that there are currently two versions of the nRF Connect SDK.

• nRF Connect SDK v0.3.0 (git tag 0.3.0) - this version is used in the tutorial above and works with Segger Embedded Studio Nordic Edition.
• nRF Connect SDK v0.3.99 (git master branch) - a newer version which uses West (Zephyr's Meta Tool) to update the SDK. The current Segger Embedded Studio Nordic Edition (version 4.14) does not work with master branch and must be built/compiled using the command line.  E.g. like in this thread

Hi Øyvind

Thx for your answer. I created this post to detail one of my current problems.
