Problem connecting Thingy:91 to cloud

I'm having trouble connecting Thingy:91 to cloud.

I've installed both the modem and HEX image in the board successfully.

I've added the SIM card successfully to the cloud account.

The problem is that when I turn on the device for it to connect to the cloud and wait for user association, it never does so, the LED is blue and continuously blinking, never changes to yellow.

Thanks in advance.

  • Hello Markus,

    I cant seem to put it in SPM anylonger ...

    Following the testing, this is the only thing that shows up.

    UART is red, LTE is grey and PDN is RED, Modem and UICC are green.

    Best regards,

    Saul

  • Thanks a lot for the feedback, Saúl!

    I’m honestly a little bit surprised myself that the log doesn’t give us more information. My apologies for that!

    I wonder if we should update the Connectivity bridge on the nRF52840 as well before proceeding here?

    That would be the file thingy91_nrf52_connectivity_bridge_2021-06-28_7a076c22.hex.

    Regards,

  • Hello Markus,

    I don't really see this going anywhere though.

    As it doesn't seem to be the firmware, since the images are the original, I should be getting some information, unless the SIM isn't working / no networks available.

    I'll wait for iBasis feedback about the SIM, then we continue I guess.

    Best regards,

    Saul Carvalho

    Okay, as you wish :-)

    Let me know if I can help you with anything else!

    Regards,

  • Hi Saul,

    Did you manage to get it to work? Any feedback from iBasis?
    I'm asking because I've also had only unsuccessful attempts to register to the network in Portugal. I tried using the Hologram SIM card and never got the LTE registration working, neither in LTE-M or NB-IoT mode. The same SIM card worked perfectly well in Poland and in Norway.

    This led me to think that maybe portuguese providers allow access only for their own SIM cards (which, by the way, are almost impossible to get for a foreigner).

    I will be grateful for some info about that, as I would like to work on some projects in Portugal.

    Regards,

    Maciek
