 I&amp;#39;m beginner here. 
 Could you guide me how to check that my nrf9160 custom board is working? 
 Should I program it with any firmware before programming with my application like blinking LED ? 
 Thank you,

&lt;p&gt;So the place to start is with the Dev Kit:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Before thinking about designing a custom board, you need to spend time with that board to get familiar with the chip, the tools, etc.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Do you have experience elsewhere?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are you familiar with embedded microcontroller firmware development?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: nrf9160 custom board get started</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/195574?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jul 2019 09:37:25 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:4db1ac75-1952-423a-8b67-61b29419bf45</guid><dc:creator>&amp;#216;yvind</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello Auangkun,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, you should ensure that your custom board is according to our reference layout, which you can find under&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Schematics and layout for nRF9160&lt;/em&gt; in the &lt;a href="https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Low-power-cellular-IoT/nRF9160/Download#infotabs"&gt;Download section of nRF9160&lt;/a&gt;. A good source can also be the &lt;a href="https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-Tools/Development-Kits/nRF9160-DK"&gt;nRF9160 DK&lt;/a&gt;, which covers antenna design as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After this, you should ensure that you have the latest version of NCS (nRF Connect SDK), which is available through &lt;a href="https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-Tools/Development-Tools/nRF-Connect-for-desktop"&gt;nRF Connect for Desktop&lt;/a&gt; using the Getting Started Assistant v0.9.3.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kind regards,&lt;br /&gt;Øyvind&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
