In v0.3 SPM was previously named Secure Boot, this is now SPM. As the nRF9160 is running Cortex M33, it includes TrustZone which enables secure and non-secure domains. That is the reason for why we have divided the board into PCA10090s and PCA10090ns.

Updating your SDK with West will ensure the latest tag v0.4.0-rc2, and when building both SPM and <sample-project> will be merged into one hex. More information here and here. Be aware that the current version of SES 4.16 does not support the merged hex, but we have a workaround here.

There have also been issues with v0.3 and the newest modem FW, another reason to move away from the old version.

Hope this answers your question regarding the SPM. Let me know if anything is unclear.

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Difference from v0.3 I do see though is S vs NS - what is the recommendation here? The new SPM does not seem to work very well with NS... Would be great with a pointer to an actual list of operations to make atleast a certain version of the code operational in SES 4.16....

At this moment it is really not a big difference between the two, both are prone to bugs at the moment. I would keep master until we have v0.4.0 (non-rc) by the end of May.

But do you recommend master or v0.4-rc1?

[quote user="oys"]I'm having issues with west today, not sure if it's local or global. Will get back to you on that part. In the meantime, you could try to follow this tutorial. Let me know if you are able to complete the steps. [/quote]

The issue has been fixed and you should be able to follow the tutorial to download NCS. To get tag v0.4.0-rc1, follow this comment from the same thread.

Hi Vemund,

Yes, you are correct, by the end of May 😳

[quote user="vkbakken"]I am happy to code something up myself - so any pointers to documentation for the GPS API is appreciated.[/quote]

Sorry, but there we do not have anything before next release by the end of May.

[quote user="vkbakken"]Can you detail the steps to use West for me? I see that there is a tag v0.4-rc1? I have not have 100% luck following master until now. Maybe you could be kind enough to detail for me the step using West....[/quote]

Hello,

Currently, there is no support in the official SDK, but we expect to release a newer version within May which supports GPS. The status of the nRF9160 can be tracked here.

[quote user=""]. Should still tag v0.3 be used of: zephyr, nrfconnect and nrfxlib?[/quote]

No, please update to the latest version using West, Zephyr’s meta-tool.

Kind regards,
Øyvind
