Serial Terminal over GPIO Pins

Hi,

I am running my nRF9160 DK in "nRF Only Mode" (Via SW1). I would like to drive the serial terminal out via one of the GPIO pins, connected to my MAC using an FTDI serial to usb cable.

I am using this cable to power the board and have connected the TXD and RXD wires to P0.25 and P0.26. 

I have referred to this post which details the overlay and proj.conf settings

I have followed this but unfortunately and still not seeing a serial output.

Is there anything else Im missing?

Thanks,
Rod
