Unable to log anything on the serial terminal using Nordic Thingy 91

Hi,

I am trying to follow this tutorial (https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/cellular-iot-guides/b/getting-started-cellular/posts/ncs-tutorial---temporary) on Nordic Thingy 91 but I am unable to print anything on the serial terminal. Although, when I use the asset tracker application which was provided in the firmware I could see the info on the serial terminal. I added the following lines:

CONFIG_SERIAL=y
CONFIG_UART_0_NRF_UARTE=y

but still couldn't see anything on the terminal. I am using these settings to select the board:

Can you tell me what the issue is?

Thank you.

Regards,

Haris Ahmed

  • Hi.

    What terminal are you using on your computer?

    The Thingy:91 uses 2 COM ports, and if you open the "wrong" one, you will not get any log.

    The sample should work out on the box on the Thingy as well. Can you send me your project folder so that I can check if you have done something wrong?

    Best regards,

    Didrik

  • I tried with Realterm and Putty as well. I tried using both of the COM ports which are associated with Thingy 91 but couldn't see anything on both of them. Although on the asset tracker app, I can see the output on COM port 1. Also, this issue is not limited to just this hello world project but I tired to run nrf9160 samples like cloud client etc as well on my Thingy 91 but I couldn't see anything on the serial terminal. But I am sending you the project folder of Hello World anyways so you can have a look for yourself.
