Dear Nordic Support Team,
After I updated the nRF Connect SDK (1.5.1 to 1.6.1) and the Modem firmware (1.2.3 to 1.3.0) on my nrf9160 DK device (v1.0.0, SiP revision 2), the date time isn't synchronized anymore. The date time library only issues the DATE_TIME_NOT_OPTAINED event. This issue might be related to this ticket.
I followed these instructions to update the modem firmware.
Here are the crucial code snippets I use:
// Modem initialization
int lmModem_initialize(const LmModemConfiguration config)
{
int error;
error = lte_lc_init();
if (error) goto onError;
error = lte_lc_psm_req(config.requestPsm);
if (error) goto onError;
error = lte_lc_connect();
if (error) goto onError;
k_sleep(K_SECONDS(5));
return LMMODULSUCCESS;
onError:
return LMMODULERROR;
}
int lmModem_initializeDefault(void) {
LmModemConfiguration config;
lmModem_getDefaultConfig(&config);
return lmModem_initialize(config);
}
void lmModem_getDefaultConfig(LmModemConfiguration* config) {
config->requestPsm = true;
}
// Date time initialization
// Please note that the semaphore is "given" by the eventHandler if date time is obtained
int lmDateTime_initialize(void)
{
int error = LMMODULESUCCESS;
// Synchronize time independed of usual update interval
error = date_time_update_async(eventHandler);
if (error)
{
printk("Data time update async request failed\n");
goto onError;
}
// Wait for date time update to finish
error = k_sem_take(&dateTimeInitialized, K_SECONDS(DATETIMEUPDATETIMEOUTS));
if (error)
{
printk("Data time update time out\n");
goto onError;
}
// Validate date time
if (!date_time_is_valid())
{
printk("Data time is not valid\n");
goto onError;
}
return LMMODULESUCCESS;
onError:
return LMMODULEERROR;
}
// Try to initialize the modem and then the date time
void lmControlProtoApp_initialize(void) {
int error;
printk("Initialize modem\n");
error = lmModem_initializeDefault();
printk("Init of modem error: %d\n", error);
printk("Initialize date time\n");
error = lmDateTime_initialize();
printk("Init of date time error: %d\n", error);
}
This is my prj.conf:

Please note that I have a second, older device (v0.9.0, SiP revision 1) which still holds the old modem firmware version 1.2.3. The very same code (compiled with the 1.6.1 SDK as well) runs flawless on this device.
Can you please tell me what causes the issue? Since this is the second time my v1.0.0 device shows issue with the date time synchronization after a modem firmware update and no one else seems to have reported similar issues, do you think my hardware might be broken?
Thank you for you help!
Sebastian
