Problem running zephyr Bluetooth samples with nrf5340 DK using nrf Connect SDK

[jrs]

Hello
I am trying to run a simple zephyr bluetooth sample using nrf Connect SDK v. 1.5.1
I am using your nRF5340 DK  The sample I am running is: beacon
I followed your instructions as shown here (to build/download/debug):
 developer.nordicsemi.com/.../gs_programming.html

The nrf Connect Options are the following:
nrf Connect SDK Release: 1.5.1
nRF Connect Toolchain Version: 1.5.1
Projects: beacon
Board Name: nrf5340dk_nrf5340cpuappns

I am able to build and download to the board. I can see on the serial port that
the sample is running. I see a green LED blinking. I can step through the sample using the SES.

However, I am not able to see the beacon using nRF Connect on my Android phone
or while scanning using gatttool with a Raspberry PI 4. Also, I used a spectrum
analyzer to verify if there is any BT signal in the 2.4 GHz band coming out of
the module and was able to confirm there isn't any signal at all.

In summary: the beacon sample is running but there is no RF signal coming out of
the nRF5340 DK board. Any idea of what I might be doing wrong or not doing at
all?
I should also say that the same thing happens with the eddystone and peripheral
samples that I tried.

Thanks

Thanks a lot for the reply.

Indeed, I was not programming the network sample from SES.

Once I did that I am able to run the beacon and peripheral samples and I am able to see the signal over the air, as well as I am able to see it using nRF Connect on my Android phone.

Thanks
