Sorry, please ignore my comment. You need to update the project in SES either way.

Excuse me but i'm not sure if i understood: if i load a project and AFTER that i modify manually (i.e. by Notepad) the prj.conf file and AFTER that i "Build and Run" my project, the modifications of the prj.conf take effect or do i need to "Open nRF Connect SDK project" again before "Build and Run"?

Hello,

[quote user="frax84"]It's really important to note that SES has some problem when updating the config file. It seems that i need to reload totally the entire project (close SES, reopen SES) to make che modifications to .config file takes effect. It's highly probable it's just me being a newbie and missing something about this. Can anyone tell me what's the right method to update .config file?[/quote]

Yes, this is currently how it works when updating the config file via Project -> Configure nRF Connect SDK project -> menuconfig. You do not need to close SES, rather use File -> Open nRF Connect SDK project and reopen the project.

Another way is to manually update prj.conf outside of SES, and not use menuconfig.

Kind regards,
Øyvind

I want to inform you that i solved the problem. I heavily revised the config file of the project reading the proper documentation about zephyr project config options(here) and nrf config options(here). For interested people, now my .config file is like this:

CONFIG_SERIAL=y
CONFIG_UART_0_NRF_UARTE=y

CONFIG_BSD_LIBRARY=y

CONFIG_NETWORKING=y
CONFIG_NET_SOCKETS=y
CONFIG_NET_NATIVE=y
CONFIG_NET_SOCKETS_OFFLOAD=y
CONFIG_NET_SOCKETS_POSIX_NAMES=y

CONFIG_HEAP_MEM_POOL_SIZE=8192
CONFIG_MAIN_STACK_SIZE=8192
CONFIG_SYSTEM_WORKQUEUE_STACK_SIZE=4096
CONFIG_OFFLOAD_WORKQUEUE_STACK_SIZE=4096

CONFIG_LTE_LINK_CONTROL=y

It's really important to note that SES has some problem when updating the config file. It seems that i need to reload totally the entire project (close SES, reopen SES) to make che modifications to .config file takes effect. It's highly probable it's just me being a newbie and missing something about this. Can anyone tell me what's the right method to update .config file?

By the way, now i'm able to push the button1, trigger the interrupt and send an http-post based on this interrupt.
