[dhandzic]

I would now like to open nRF Connect SDK Projekt and get the follwoing error:

I have added the CXX environment variable, but it did not help

Hi,

The "CMakeLists.txt" field should point to the CMakeLists.txt of your project, not the board.

E.g. if you want to build the asset_tracker project, the path should be <your NCS folder>/nrf/applications/asset_tracker/CMakeLists.txt.

In addition, if you want to use the modem in the nRF9160, you must build your application as non-secure. To do that, you must select the non-secure version of the board.

I.e. nrf9160dk_nrf9160ns (notice the "ns" at the end).

Finally, in case you are not already doing it, when you install NCS using the Toolchain Manager, you must open SES (or bash/cmd) from the Toolchain Manager for the environment to be configured correctly.

Best regards,

Didrik

Hi Didrik,

thank you for your swift reply and help. now I can build the asset tracker and even the lwm2m_client which will be the base for our application.

Later yesterday the toolchain manager downloaded SDK 1.3.1, but it seems incomplete. When I select the lwm2m_client in the 1.3.1 folder the build process fails again:

For the time being I will continue with lwm2m_client from the 1.3.0 folder which works. Just to let you know there is a problem with 1.3.1.

Best regards

Dirk

Hi Didrik,

I have tried Update SDK for 1.3.1 from Toolchain Manager without success. I have tried from BASH  west update and also ncsmgr init-ncs but I get errors:

The Output pane in SES does not show memeory usage information after building either.

Hi Didrik,

today I received my nRF9160 DK board and I have the asset tracker running using nrf9160dk_asset_tracker_ltem_2020-04-29_bc7ade8b.hex. Works fine except GPS position even with external antenna and SW12 in CON position and patch antenna near window I dont get GPS readings. Is this part of the LTE-M implementation?

 If you change the right drop-down menu from "Tasks" to "Output", you should get the same output as from a terminal.

 Are you using the iBasis SIM card that came with the DK? Those usually don't get PSM granted by the network. The nRF9160 is not able to use the GPS while also using the LTE radio, and there is usually not enough time for the GPS to get a fix in the intervals where the LTE radio is off unless eDRX or PSM is used.

Are you using VPN? If so, that might be the problem.

Also, have you tried to change the folder used by the Toolchain Manager?

Hi Didrik,

I have been out of office a couple of days. We use NordVPN and I had do uninstall the 1.3.1, turn off the VPN and reinstall 1.3.1 and now all sub directories are there and I can build the lwm2m_client from 1.3.1.

I am using the iBasis SIM while waiting for  my Telia SIM to arrive. I will now look at the hardware design of our board. Is there any document containing reference design and layout guidelines?

Running the DK board today I get the LED1 and LED4 blinking and it does not show data in the NRFCLOUD:
