Hi,
I would like to set up a couple of boards communicating over Bluetooth; I was hoping someone could provide some pointers.
I would like to connect the nRF9160DK to the nRF52833DK.
I have programmed the nRF52 on the nRF9160DK with the HCI UART code and the nRF9160 with the LTE_BLE_Gateway code.
Is this correct?
What should I program the nRF52833 with?
Thanks,
Rod
Hello Rod,
The LTE_BLE_Gateway sample, or LTE Sensor Gateway sample, is designed to be used with the Thingy:52. It will look for Thingy (name or service UUID) and expect to find Thingy services. Your best chance is to configure the LTE Sensor Gateway sample to connect with e.g. Bluetooth Peripheral LBS
Kind regards,
Øyvind
Hi Øyvind,
Thank you for your reply. So, just to clarify.
1. The LTE_BLE_Gateway code is designed to run with the Thingy52 (or '91 I assume) only
2. If I want want to connect the nRF9160DK to the nRF5233DK I should use the BT Peripheral LBS code. Do I use that on both systems? i.e on both the nRF9160DK and the nRF5233DK
I'm having problems building the LTE_BLE_Gateway code for the nRF9160DK; please could you send me the merged.hex file for this board? I will try and get a Thingy52 to test.
Thanks,
Rod
Morning Øyvind,
This is what I have in my /Users/Watt/zephyrproject directory...
Watts-MacBook-Pro-2:zephyrproject Watt$ pwd
/Users/Watt/zephyrproject
Watts-MacBook-Pro-2:zephyrproject Watt$ ls
bootloader modules ncs tools zephyr
Yes, my Zephyr base is set to.
ZEPHYR_BASE=/Users/Watt/zephyrproject/zephyr
Under ncs, the only directory is nrf. Its empty.
I agree, it looks like my directory structure is messed up. I have tried to reinstall, please see my last posting, but this has failed.
Whats the easiest way to reinstall?
Good morning Rod,
My apologies for the late reply. From your last comment, I agree that something is messed up.
RodWatt said:Whats the easiest way to reinstall?
Try to add a new folder to /Users/Watt/ e.g. NCS. Follow the instructions given here. Inside of /Users/Watt/NCS run the following command in terminal:
west init -m https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf --mr v1.3.0
This will clone the manifest repository into NCS. Once complete, run the following commands:
west update west zephyr-export
Lastly, make sure to install dependencies:
pip3 install -r zephyr/scripts/requirements.txt pip3 install -r nrf/scripts/requirements.txt pip3 install -r bootloader/mcuboot/scripts/requirements.txt
Let me know how that works for you.
Kind regards,
Øyvind
Hi Øyvind,
No problem. I followed your instructions above but still seeing problems.

Rod, it looks like it's still fetching information from the zehpyrproject folder (Including boilerplate (Zephyr base): /Users/Watt/zephyrproject/zephyr/cmake/app/boilerplate.cmake)
Have you set zephyr base?
Watts-MBP-2:~ Watt$ printenv ZEPHYR_BASE /Users/Watt/zephyrproject/zephyr
Where should I be pointing?
Watts-MBP-2:~ Watt$ printenv ZEPHYR_BASE /Users/Watt/zephyrproject/zephyr
Where should I be pointing?
It should be pointing to the Zephyr folder inside of the NCS folder that you initiated. e.g. /Users/Watt/NCS/zephyr
I have created
/Users/Watt/zephyrproject
in here I have
bootloader
modules
ncs
tools
zephyr
I have set up ZEPHYR_BASE as follows
ZEPHYR_BASE=/Users/Watt/zephyrproject/ncs/zephyr

I deleted everything and started again. I followed this
All very straight forward until I try this.

What am I doing wrong here?
I know this is difficult to debug remotely, I was hoping clean install would fix it. If you have instructions for a complete reinstall please let me know, happy to start again
