AWS FOTA fails in new SDK version 1.2.0

-22 means that the getaddrinfo (ie: the hostname dns lookup) fails. Try to ping that hostname (on your local PC) set in your config and see if there was a problem with the string that copied into the prj.conf.

Kind regards,

I think that in v1.0.0 the example connected to a specific account. In v1.1.0 I have been able to use my own AWS account. Which I have posted my firmware image file to that account and have successfully connected and run the FOTA many times. But in v1.2.0 I get the error I posted.

Hi,

In v1.1.0, you connected to a specific account, and with v1.2.0; we have tried to make the aws_fota sample generic, so that you can use this in your own AWS account. This is described more in detail here:

http://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/1.2.0/nrf/samples/nrf9160/aws_fota/README.html

It seems that you have updated the settings according to your own account, but given that you get an error on getaddrinfo(), I suspect that you haven't stored it or applied the config properly?

Could you try setting the hostname in aws_fota/prj.conf and re-import the project in SES? CONFIG_MQTT_BROKER_HOSTNAME="a3restofthehostname...amazonaws.com"

Kind regards,

Håkon
