In main.c,

supl_init function is executed successfully.
gps_data->data_id value is always 1 or 2 and it isn't set 3.

Any help?

Hi,

 

It seems that the configuration has not been applied properly. After printing "Getting GPS data" it should fetch AGPS data if SUPL is enabled.

Could you try to re-import the gps project (with clean build folder) to see if this helps?

 

Kind regards,

Håkon

I can't get SUPL data even when I re-imported the project... I attached additional info below. Do you have any advice? Thank you in advance.

I'm using iBasis SIM

Hi,

I tried your merged.hex, and it does not show any downloading of agps data.

It does not seem to have picked up the library in ext/lib/bin/supl properly. Could you try to manually delete the build folder, then re-import from scratch with prj.conf holding "CONFIG_SUPL_CLIENT_LIB=y"?

 

Kind regards,

Håkon

I did as you specified, but the same result.

I tried to set up ncs folder from scratch but the error occurs. The master branch seems to have bug.

Hi,

 

I think that your west is out-dated. Could you try "pip3 install west --upgrade" and see if it starts working?

Also, could you try the latest version of SES-NE (nordic edition) to see if the behavior when compiling is similar?

 

You could try to use west to build as well, "cd samples/nrf9160/gps && west build -b nrf9160_pca10090ns".

 

Kind regards,

Håkon
