printk() on blinky example not working on UART0 for NS build

[BoredBSEE]

Hello all,

Having a smallish problem seeing printk() output on my board.  My board is an NRF9160 PCA10090 inspired board.  Long story short, I can't see printk() stuff showing up on UART0 when I build the NS version of the board.  The other non-NS version is fine.  I'm using 1.2.0.

The details.

Our board is very similar to the PCA10090.  LEDs on different GPIO, and UART0 on different pins.  I copied the ncs\v1.2.0\zephyr\samples\basic\blinky folder to my desktop and placed two files in there named nrf9160_pca10090.overlay and nrf9160_pca10090ns.overlay.  They are identical.  Here's the contents:

&uart0 {

status = "ok";

current-speed = <115200>;

tx-pin = <19>;

rx-pin = <18>;

};

&uart2 {

status = "ok";

current-speed = <9600>;

tx-pin = <11>;

rx-pin = <10>;

};

&uart0 {
  status = "ok";
  current-speed = <115200>;
  tx-pin = <19>;
  rx-pin = <18>;
};

&uart2 {
  status = "ok";
  current-speed = <9600>;
  tx-pin = <11>;
  rx-pin = <10>;
};

I've also modified the code to wiggle one of my LED pins, and give me a little printk() action as it does.  My main.c is modified like this:

while (1) {

/* Set pin to HIGH/LOW every 1 second */

gpio_pin_write(dev, 5, cnt % 2);

cnt++;

k_sleep(SLEEP_TIME);

printk("Count is: %d\n",cnt);

}

	while (1) {
		/* Set pin to HIGH/LOW every 1 second */
		gpio_pin_write(dev, 5, cnt % 2);
		cnt++;
		k_sleep(SLEEP_TIME);
        printk("Count is: %d\n",cnt);
	}

Now if I do the following, it works:

File -> Open nRF Connect SDK Project (CMakeLists.txt is Desktop/blinky/CMakeLists.txt, Board Directory is ncs/v1.2.0/zephyr/boards/arm/nrf9160_pca10090, Board Name is nrf9160_pca10090, Build directory is the default Desktop/blinky/build_nerf9160_pca10090.  Check [X] Clean Build Directory).  Click Go.  Then click Debug->Go.  My LED blinks, and the count shows up on UART0 on pins 18/19.  All is well, so I'm pretty sure my .overlay files are ok.

But do the same thing, except for set Board Name to nrf9160_pca10090ns, and it doesn't work.  LED blinks, so I know I'm running, but no printk() on the uart.  

Anyone know why?

Thanks,
