nRF9160 DK nRF52

[Hoang]

Dear, 

I have nRF9160 DK, and I tried to control SW5 to debug/programme for nRF91 or nRF52. 

I could programme for nRF91, but I couldnt do it for nRF52, for example, Im trying with /nrf/samples/bluetooth/central_uart/

 

and SW5 to nRF52, then Build and Run:

Did I do something wrong? misunderstand somewhere?

Regards,

Hello Hoang,

You cannot build/flash bluetooth samples to "nrf9160_pca10090" since it is not a chip that supports BLE.

If you are building for the nrf52840 chip that is on the nrf91DK you need to change the "Board directory" to "nrf52840_pca10090".

- nrf9160/nrf52840 (decides which chip)

- pca10090 (is the name of the nrf91 DK)

---

A recommended exercise for you to do is to build/flash the LTE Sensor Gateway sample.

Since there you will need to build/flash one sample to the nrf9160 and one for the nrf52840. (remember to use SW5 to the correct chip you want to program)

if you have a Thingy:52 as well you can now test out that sample by turning the Thingy:52 to each side and you will see on the nRF Cloud that an alarm will be sent each time the THingy:52 is on a specific side.

Hope this makes things a bit clearer.
