Scan and advertise in nRF9160 dk

[Leo26781]

Hi , 

I ran the example "zephyr\samples\bluetooth\scan_adv" on the nRF9160 dk kit . 

It says the following error

"

2020-07-16T02:22:00.682Z DEBUG modem << ***** Booting Zephyr OS v1.14.99-ncs2 *****
2020-07-16T02:22:00.737Z DEBUG modem << Starting Scanner/Advertiser Demo
2020-07-16T02:22:00.742Z DEBUG modem << Bluetooth init failed (err -19)
2020-07-16T02:22:00.747Z DEBUG modem << [00:00:00.008,117] 1B[1;31m<err> bt_hci_core: No HCI driver registered

How to resolve this ? do i need to flash anything else

Hi,

You need to flash the hci_uart sample to the nRF52840 on the nRF91-DK. Board name nrf9160dk_nrf52840

You might also need to set this in prj.conf:

CONFIG_BT_H4=y
CONFIG_BT_WAIT_NOP=y


CONFIG_UART_2_NRF_FLOW_CONTROL=y
CONFIG_UART_INTERRUPT_DRIVEN=y

and an overlay, nrf9160dk_nrf9160ns.overlay , like this:

/ {
	chosen {
		zephyr,bt-uart=&uart2;
	};
};

&uart2 {
	compatible = "nordic,nrf-uarte";
	current-speed = <1000000>;
	status = "okay";
	tx-pin = <18>;
	rx-pin = <17>;
	rts-pin = <21>;
	cts-pin = <19>;
};

Similar to how it's done in the lte_ble_gateway sample.
