How do I get output (print functions) from app running on Thingy:91 that is connected via cable to nrf9160 DK

[Jesper Tiberg]

Where do I get the output (from the main apps printf/printk etc) from the Thingy:91 once it's connected via 10-pin swd-cable to my nrf9160 DK?

I don't think there's anything wrong with the connections since I can progam the Thingy via the cable (flash the asset_tracker for example).

The output of the DK is streamed via /dev/ttyACM0 (i'm on Ubuntu 18.04) and the /dev/ttyACM1 prints the output from the nRF52. 
I'd assume that the external device output would be /dev/ttyACM2 (or perhaps ttyACM0 when connected).

Is there some configuration I need to do (baud rate on ttyACM*, app config or similar) to enable this?

Hi Jesper,

Please make sure you have the Thingy:91 connected correctly:

Then try to turn OFF and then ON the Thingy:91 since it could have gone into some kind of power-saving mode.

Then the thingy should be on the list:

I am adding the precompiled at_client for thingy for your convenience: thingy91_at_client.hex

Please update the device with the Programmer app.

Aha, the console output comes in via the Thingy's USB... that was not obvious to me.

Nice to be able to get console without the DK though!

Thank you!
