How to use aws_fota program in nRF9160?

[Yusuke]

I'm trying to use aws_fota, but it doesn't work. Any help?

I was able to set a job on AWS IoT, but the download job doesn't start. The job status is always "in progress". I logged out and logged in and got the same result.

I use the same region in AWS IoT and S3

Hello, 

Good to see that the connection is working. 

Can you please provide your AWS Job file as well? And where is the .bin file located?

Thanks!

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Is the error consistent? The error seems to originate in download_client looking up the errno code https://github.com/NordicPlayground/nrfxlib/blob/4d3fa41a8ded0808242a3cb3edca3bc29c04e5e3/bsdlib/include/nrf_errno.h#L41 says Network is unreachable, so my assumption has to be that at some point the connection was lost. Also, I would be careful about doing this too many times as it burns a lot of data.

this may be related to my issue.

I checked a remaining credit of data and I have enough credit.

[Yusuke]

It succeeded once out of around 10 tries.

I feel the program or network is unstable.

[sigvartmh]

It's a combination of both as the program doesn't to handle a connection drop/network connection issues very gracefully in v1.0.0. This is being worked on and will hopefully be fixed in the next release

[Yusuke]

ok. I'll be waiting for next version update.  Please let me know when it happens. Thanks!
