Hi again!

If you read the full blog post, there is a link to Google's root certificate and an explanation on how this works. Root certificates aren't created by the user, but retrieved from the given CA, in this case Google.

Best regards,

Heidi

Hi, you need to place the folder inside the ncs-folder, for example giving the path \ncs\nrf\samples\nrf9160\nRF9160DKtoGoogleCloud.

As stated in the blog post, read this tutorial for information regarding using the nRF Connect SDK to create an application.

Hi. If you're following the blog post you linked to, you're not supposed to use the google_iot_mqtt example at all. There is code attached at the bottom of the post, which is what you should be running on your DK.

Is there any detailed tutorial or directions of how to use this sample?

Without changing the Kconfig file the Segger Studio doesn't open the sample file

Edit: You shouldn't change the Kconfig file at all. The last lines of the prj.conf file should be changed as described in the blog post.

Hi Karma!

In the blog post all the way at the bottom you can download the project code, which is the code used in the blog post to connect the DK to Google Cloud. The Kconfig file should look like this where you need to insert for instance your Google Cloud project name in the second line.

config GCLOUD_PROJECT_NAME
    string "Name of the Google Cloud project"

config GCLOUD_REGION
    string "Google cloud region"

config GCLOUD_REGISTRY_NAME
    string "Name of the Google Cloud reigstry of the device"

config GCLOUD_DEVICE_NAME
    string "Name of the device in Google Cloud"
    
# Include Zephyr's Kconfig
source "$ZEPHYR_BASE/Kconfig"

Best regards,

Heidi
