You can use the Cloud Client example in nrf/samples/nrf9160, just change the CONFIG_CLOUD_BACKEND to use the AWS IoT library.

I figured out how to use printk() or printf() function in master branch. It is necessary to include

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/printk.h>

I can also confirm that LTE Monitor app can be used for debugging.

I will now see how can I benefit from AWS IoT library. One more question before I close this topic:

Which existing sample can I use to experiment with AWS IoT library (communicate with AWS IoT Cloud over MQTT)? Is mqtt_simple example appropriate for that?

Sincerely,

Bojan.

Hi Heidi.

Thanks for the update. No worries, we can survive and use LTE Monitor terminal for debugging. Please confirm that we can build from SES and debug using LTE Monitor terminal in master branch.

I tried to re-generate Hello World project from nRF Connect SDK tutorial within master branch and here is what I get:

1> Compiling ‘main.c’
1> ../src/main.c:2:10: fatal error: misc/printk.h: No such file or directory
1> compilation terminated.
Build failed

What changed in master branch that stops us to use misc/printk.h?

More imortant, is there any way we can benefit from AWS IoT library from within v1.1.0 branch?

Sincerley,

Bojan.

Hi!

There has been a reported bug using the debug function with SES on the master branch. So until this is fixed you won't be able to debug using SES while on the NCS master branch, unfortunately.

Best regards,

Heidi
