nRF9160 modem is not switching ON

[vinodmymo]

Hi,

I have connected nrf9160-dk to my laptop and using nRF connect v 2.6.2 with LTE link monitor application. 

I am seeing only UART in green and Modem in Red. I am thinking modem is not powered ON.

AT commands also not responding and timed out. 

If Modem is not turned on, how to turn on or make it green in LTE link monitor.

Thanks & Regards,

vinod

Hi,

 

1. Is the modem updated? You can download the latest modem version from here: https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Low-power-cellular-IoT/nRF9160/Download#infotabs

2. Could you try flashing this .hex file and see if it works better afterwards?

"nrfjprog --program uicr_tcxo.hex --sectorerase -f nrf91"

uicr_tcxo.hex

 

3. Could you post the output from LTE Link Monitor if the above suggestions still fails?

 

Kind regards,

Håkon

Hi Håkon,

Thank You,

It's working now with at_client sample project.

I wanted NB-IoT firmware for nRF9160-DK, currently public released version is for Cat-M.

Where can I get NB-IoT firmware? atleast alpha or beta verison.

Best Regards,

Vinod

If you send me a direct message with your location, I can provide you with the contact info to the regional sales manager for your area.
