How to install at_client to Thingy:91?

Yusuke

I got Thingy:91 and want to install at_client to it, but it doesn't work well.

What I did is

1. Check out a pull request  and update firmware referring to this link

2. Connect j-link and usb to Thingy:91.

3. Open LTE Link Monitor.

It always restarts and never accepts at command.

Any tips?

    With J-Link, I can flash the at_client hex file to Thingy:91, but it doesn't work on LTE Link monitor. why...

    Hi! First, you have to uncheck the "Auto device/port filter" option in the bottom right corner, see picture below. Then make sure you are connected to the correct COM port, the Thingy:91 has two. Then keep power cycling the device (switching it on and off), resetting LTE Link Monitor (CTRL + R) until you get a connection. 

    Could you provide the Log output if it still doesn't work when you try this?

    Best regards,

    Heidi

    I think I did as you instruct, but it doesn't work out. 

    Could you tell me exact procedure in each step? What does "the keep power cycling the device (switching it on and off)" mean?

    Also, LTE Link Monitor communicates with device through USB, not J-Link, right?

    This is the log. I don't know why LTE Link Monitor uses USB Port1, even though I select Port 12 or 13..

    Additionally, should I update firmware?

    Hi, I think I misunderstood. To actually flash the at_client example to your Thingy:91, you have to use the Programmer application in nRF Connect. the LTE Link Monitor is a way to communicate with the modem after you have flashed the example. Is this what you're wondering? Have you flashed the thingy91_at_client.hex hex file to the Thingy:91?

     This just means switch the Thingy:91 on and off while you're trying to connect.

     Yes, correct.

     Yes, you should upload the modem firmware to version 1.0.1.

    When I flash a program to nRF9160 DK, I just build and run on SES. Do I have to use Programmer application on nRF Connect to flash it to Thingy:91? I used the Programmer application to upgrade modem firmware before. I never used it to flash a program.
