nRF9160 Cannot make Kconfig options have an effect in Segger Embedded Studio

[Johan]

I have a nRF9160 DK and I'm adapting the asset tracker to connect to our own AWS cloud solution.

I see the code nrf_cloud uses defines coming from the Kconfig at \nrf\subsys\net\lib\nrf_cloud\Kconfig.
For example: NRF_CLOUD_HOST_NAME, NRF_CLOUD_PORT, NRF_CLOUD_PROVISION_CERTIFICATES, NRF_CLOUD_CERTIFICATES_FILE etc

How do I make changes to the Kconfig have an effect when building in Segger Embedded Studio? No matter what I do, changes to this Kconfig doesn't have an effect to the built result.

Am I missing the point, how it's supposed to work perhaps?
Anyone who can educate me, how to work "correctly" with this, would be appreciated.

I tried to build from commandline, but couldn't make it work, so I'm sticking with Segger Embedded Studio so far.
Build platform: win7

Hi Johan, 

The NCS tag v0.4.0 just got released! https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/0.4.0/nrf/doc/release-notes-0.4.0.html

Please go to:

cd ncs/nrf
git checkout master
git pull
git checkout v0.4.0
west update

To get the stable release.

Remember that you need to flash the nrf52 (nrf52840_pca10090) on the nRF91 DK with the HCI_UART sample.

as described here: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/samples/nrf9160/lte_ble_gateway/README.html

Best Regards,

Martin L.

Some more questions for you Martin:

1.How do I know what kind of connection the LTE is using, with the sample BLE_LTE_gateway?
I want to be in control of and set it to NB-LTE forced, and also read and verify this setting has been taken effect.
How can I accomplish this?

2. What is "Security tag to use for nRF Cloud connection"? Is it for AWS or just your own solution? I haven't found any documentation on AWS of this yet.

Cheers,
Johan

Trying to download your attachment : (asset_tracker.hex)
You do not have permission to view this directory or page.

I managed to download them now. 
THe only download that works is, right side of the screen "Attachments (2) Download All".

The other options with separate files, gives me "permission denied".

There is some configuration problem with your devzone server.
Can you pass that on, so someone solves this?

[Johan]

Ok, I was wrong.

The downloaded zipfile from "Download All" - was EMPTY.

So still I have no file.
You can email it to me if this server is broken for downloading attachments.
My email is in my account.

Flashed asset_tracker.

Booting with link monitor open.

Log part

SPM: NS image at 0x8000

SPM: prepare to jump to Non-Secure image.

***** Booting Zephyr OS v1.14.99-ncs1-rc2 *****

Application started

LTE LC config ...

NRF_CLOUD_EVT_TRANSPORT_CONNECTED

Nothing more happens here.
I'll go to the cloud and add the LTE-device now.
And hopefully it will then get a pairing request.

Question is:

How do I log in?
Via private account, or via the devzone.

I have no idea Martin.

Did you find my units via the IMEI-number?
