Hi,

The Thingy SDK is as mentioned earlier in this thread a SDK of its own. I think your questions has been answered in this thread. In short, you need to debug your application.The HW files for the Thingy might be useful during debugging, you can find them here.

regards

Jared

Can someone from Nordic give an update on this?

Also, Thingy SDK 2.1.0, does it work on top of SDK16?

Depends what you mean by "supports" ?

The SDK actually supports the chip - the board it's on is irrelevant to how the chip works.

The Thingy LEDs are on an I2C IO expander - you must be doing something to that ...

There isn't any - the thingy is in a "world of its own"

[quote userid="68974" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/61135/porting-a-program-from-nrf52-dk-to-nrf52-thingy"]i just want to ensure that SDK 16 supports Thingy board[/quote]

It "supports" it in exactly the way that it "supports" any other custom board.

Because you're toggling the pin(s) that drive it!

Yes - you're just using the DK as a J-Link.
