nrf_cloud_connect failed -111

I am attempting to do the LTE_Gateway example.  I have gotten all the code to build through Segger and upload to the DK.  The problem is when I'm watching the terminal for the 9160 it tries to boot but then it hits an error that says NRF_Cloud_Connect failed -111.

Here is a portion of the output of the trace.  Does anyone know what this error -111 means?


Secure Boot: configure peripherals

LTE LC config ...
nrf_cloud_connect failed: -111

  • I would like to add that I have loaded the at_client sample and it seems to boot fine.  I open up the lte link monitor and typing AT+CFUN? gives all the relevant celluar data  and all the UART/MODEM/UICC/LTE/PDN are green like I saw before when the asset tracker application was working.  However, none of my LEDs on the board are on.  If I switch back to the other apps like the lte-gateway i go back to seeing the nrf_cloud_connect failed -111.

  • see errno.h: 111 is "Connection Refused". Could be SIM is not registered yet ..

  • Do I need to reregister my sim after I try different sample applications?  One thing I was thinking about is the first time I was trying the lte sample I wrote the 52840 Bluetooth code as the 9160 board.  Could that have done something to it?

    What is the easiest way to get back to the state the board arrived in?

    thanks for the assistance.

  • No. once registered SIM should be ok until the data allocated is used up. I just loaded that project and get this error:

    Secure Boot: MSP_NS 2002c898
    Secure Boot: prepare to jump to Non-Secure image
    ***** Booting Zephyr OS v1.13.99-ncs2 *****

    	k_sem_take failed with err -11

    I suspect that the nRF52 has to be first programmed with BLE Central Uart or similar, not sure, which fits in with your suggestion. That involves moving switches and it's too dark here right now to do that easily .. I haven't seen a guide to this project, but there may be one ..

  • Yes actually that is exactly what they have us do before programming anything on the 9160.  What you get is also interesting because my unit reboots many times with the -111 error but it finally stops rebooting when it hits the k_sem_tak error.  Hmmm, good to know, thanks.
