How to build sample projects for nRF9160

[CWallach]

I would like to build a sample project for the nRF9160. This is significantly more complicated than building a nRF52 sample projects which I have done.

The "Getting Started Assistant"  starts with Select File > Open nRF Connect SDK Project.  I installed SEGGER Embedded Studion for ARM V5.12 (64-bit) and there is no Select "File > Open nRF Connect SDK Project." option.  The next Getting Started step is to specify paths to Zephyr Base, etc ...  Where is the path specified? The Asset Tracker project is missing SEGGER files. How can to build this project with SEGGER?

Why is the nRF9160 so much more complicated than the nRF52? Is there a simple way to build a nRF9160 project?

Thanks

Hi Cliff.

You have unfortunately installed the wrong version of Segger Embedded Studio.

For the nRF Connect SDK which the nRF91 uses, there is a "special version".

To get this working, can you do the following:

1. Download and install nRF Connect for Desktop.

2. Open nRF Connect for Desktop.

3. Click on Add/Remove apps

4. Click on "Install" for the "Getting Started Assistant"

5. After it has installed, click on Launch app and the "Launch" button for the "Getting Started Assistant".

6. Follow that guide, and install the toolchain, clone the nRF Connect SDK, and download the Segger Embedded Studio version which are found in that guide.

Best regards,

Andreas
