UDP_GPS sample with Thingy:91 using nRF connect SDK v1.2.0 SES

[RicardoPereira]

Hi everyone, 

I started working on the nRF9160 with a Thingy91. I installed nRF Connect SDK v1.2.0 and i was able to try some sample like GPS or AT_client. However I would like to try the udp_gps sample that i found on this link (https://github.com/Rallare/fw-nrfconnect-nrf/tree/nrf9160_samples) so i can send a position to a server. 

To do that I copy/past the directory of the udp_gps to the samples directory (ncs/v1.2.0/nrf/samples/nrf9160).  When I try to load the project on SES i have the following message :

and then 

If someone can help me out i would be grateful. 

Thanks

Hi!

That sample isn't made for the Thingy:91 (PCA20035), just the nRF9160DK (PCA10090). So if you want to open it for the Thingy:91 you will have to port it first. 

We don't have a guide for how to port samples between the two devices, but you can take a look at the source code for the Asset Tracker application for an example of what changes you need to make.

Best regards,

Heidi

Hi, 

Thanks a lot for your answer. Do you have a document or a link that explain how to port ? What file should I check ? nrf9160_pca20035_common.dts ?

Hi, no unfortunately we don't have a guide for porting NCS samples. 

On second thought, it is strange that you're not even able to open the sample in SES. Are you on the correct NCS tag - I believe this sample was made with NCS v0.4.0. 

Best regards,

Heidi
