Set up issue with nRF9160-DK

[aleel5]

Hi, 

Since the last update of the 'Getting Started Assistant' (0.9.0) from 'nRF Connect' 2.6.2 on Windows, I can´t set up or compile any sample of the SDK for the evaluation board nRF9160-DK.

I followed all the steps of the Assistant in a clean Windows environment without success.

In the created folder <sourcecode_root>/ncs/nrf/samples/nrf9160 the samples 'asset_tracker' and 'secure_boot' no longer exist. But, if I try to open any other existing sample with SEGGER Studio with file->Open nRF Connect SDK Project, I always get an error.

This is the output:

Thank you in advance for any help

Hello,

Yes, unfortunately, there are some bugs with the newest version of Getting Started Assistant.

The first is that when following the Assistant, it updates to a version of nRF Connect SDK that does not work with Segger. There is a workaround for this which you can try.

[code]
cd ncs/nrf
git checkout 08b3d50860633bfc56107f7f9b61106c6087e70b
git checkout -b
west update
[/code]

The other bug is that the description has not been updated for the newest version of nRF Connect SDK. The ass_tracker has been moved from the samples folder and can now be found in

[code]
nrf\applications\asset_tracker
[/code]

While secure_boot has been renamed to SPM (Secure Partition Manager) and is still available in the samples folder
[code]
nrf\samples\nrf9160\spm
[/code]

Let me know if you need more help.

Kind regards,
Øyvind
