Try to run the Openthread CLI Sample on nrf5340 DK but I can't get any feedback via Putty

[kakadua]

Hi, I'm trying to run the Openthread Cli sample on my nrf5340 DK, and it looks like that part is doing fine. But if I want to test the thread network with Putty I don't get any feedback from it. I already tried the 3 different COM ports and with and without different Control Flow Mechanism, but the only feedback I get is this:

 

In the https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/samples/openthread/cli/README.html documentation, there has to be any feedback like this:

I did as well looked for any configuration but I can't find the sdkconfig.h file in SEGGER

I hope you could help me with this problem and because I'm a beginner every piece of advice is welcome! and thanks in advance!

Hi,

It seems to work fine for me.

Have you doublechecked that PuTTY is setup correctly? As described in this page: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/gs_testing.html

In terminal options: Implicit CR, Implicit LF, Local echo force on, local line editing force on.

In serial options: Correct COM port, Speed 115200, data bits 8, stop bits 1, parity none, flow control none.

Thanks for the fast response!

Yes, I do have the correct setup or do I have overlooked something:

  

From the 3 COM ports, I choose the middle one because it's the only one responding with the "uart:~$"

Btw, my connection with my nrf 5340 dk is with just a 2.0 USB cable

Do you see anything in the PuTTY window if you press the reset button while connected?

[kakadua]

Only the "uart:~$" on the middle COM port, the other ones I got nothing at all

[Øivind]

Hm, so no booting message? Do you get PuTTY output from other samples? Like zephyr/samples/hello_world? Could you flash it and check?

[kakadua]

sorry that I let you wait for a  response bu Yes, I got this output from hello world example

Curious. On the CLI sample, I see that booting message and a lot more when I reset.

Which version of the SDK are you on? And which board version are you using? (There should be a sticker on your board, the version is the second line, 1.0.0 for example)

Have you updated to the latest nRF Command Line tools?

[kakadua]

My SDK is 1.7.0 and my board version is 1.0.0 (if you mean the white sticker on the chip) and I just repaired my nRF command line tools (10.14.0 win64)
