Did you install NCS manually or through the Toolchain Manager?

If you are using the Toolchain Manager, you should install the correct version of the toolchain, and open the terminal from the Toolchain Manager.

If you installed the toolchain manually, you must ensure that you have the correct version of all the tools yourself.

You can then export a Zephyr CMake package to let your applications find the correct toolchain: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/1.5.1/zephyr/guides/zephyr_cmake_package.html#cmake-pkg

Hi Didrik,

I was using v1.4.2 and found out the modem library was developed after this version. I have updated the version to 1.5.1 and now when I am compiling I was getting error

["Key 'module_ext_root' was not defined. Path: '/build/settings'"]

ERROR: Malformed "build" section in file:
D:/work-freelance/JAN/Firmware/ncs/nrf/zephyr/module.yml

<SchemaError: error code 2: Schema validation failed:

- Key 'module_ext_root' was not defined. Path: '/build/settings'.: Path: '/'>

[quote user="waqas_qammar"]also can I use this example without certificate? what should I need to comment out so it can work may be with simple http or without certificate?[/quote]

Do you want TLS or not?

For TLS, you must have at least a CA certificate provisioned to the modem.

But, if you don't want TLS, you must change the IPPROTO_TLS_1_2 to IPPROTO_TCP, and comment out the calls to cert_provison (not strictly necessary, you will simply not use them) and tls_setup.

Hi,

You want to modify the HTTP_HEAD macro. The path "/u/123456789" replaces the "/" on the first line, the host "api.abc.com" replaces "www.google.com" on the second line.

The accept and t headers should be added to their own lines, but should be above the "Connection" header (or you need to edit the line ending to only har \r\n, the head ends with \r\n\r\n).

Best regards,

Didrik
