Hi Israel,

It's just check if your issues comes from mqtt certificate on nRF Cloud or not and I can confirm that it does . More guide will be handled by mail or call tomorrow.

[updated 28th of October]

confirmed it worked out after deleting the DK which has added on nRFCloud.

Please close this case and open a new one if you have further issues. Thanks for your patience.

Hi,

I checked that. I got an error. Seems like "AT#XNRFCLOUD" commands doesn't work at some conditions.

Full log will send you separately

Hi Brian,

CONFIG_NRF_CLOUD_LOG_LEVEL_DBG is no available in SLM app. but only in Asset_tracker.

I tried to add this config and set it "y" . I'm adding the log file but seems like no verbose data is added and everything looks like previously.

Hi Israel,

As discussed, we will take a close look at it at c'call on Thursday.

In the meantime, it would be nice if you can test with Asset tracker application if you still have the Cloud connection issue or not.

Hi Brian,

I started to test AGPS just after registration is done to the nRF cloud. Moreover, I can see on the cloud that connection is done but I don't the response you got which is weird.

Hi Israel,

Have you connected to nRFCloud with this application or other applications like asset_tracker with that board?

If not, I believe that's because your board was not registered beforehand.

when you issue the AT#XNRFCLOUD=1, please open nRFCloud and register your board as below:

Then your device gets added to nrf cloud and will get expected response. Please let me know your result.

Hi Brian,

Exactly. the only difference is the missing response of "AT#XNRFCLOUD=1"

I wait for a while but no response like you have :)

Any ideas why? I guess something missing at configuration.

Hi Israel,

The difference between yours and mine is the response of that command.

2021-10-18T09:38:54.894Z DEBUG modem << #XNRFCLOUD: 1,0

It will take a few times to get the response and then try AGPS command.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for your reply. We registered the board on the nRF cloud and indeed no error after "AT#XNRFCLOUD=1"(ensured the connection on nRF web site) but still error after "AT#XAGPS=1,1" as below:

Hi Israel,

Sorry, I confused about the configuration option, CONFIG_SLM_AGPS. it should be enabled. After enabling this, I got right response as below:

As you can see below, it takes a couple of seconds to get the response for XNRFCLOUD=1( it took around 5sec below) and anther some more time after XAGPS.

But now that you got error response for XNRFCLOUD, I suspect your board was not registered in nRFCloud beforehand. Please check it first and if not, suggest you to register your board first and try again.

Hi Israel,

It is supposed to work without enabling 'CONFIG_SLM_AGPS'. #NRFCLOUD should work, but it might take some time(around 30s) to be connected to cloud as below.

But I saw 'error' after sending #XAGPS=1,1, which comes in reset. I will check more internally and get back to you.

Hi Brian,

GPS is indeed works outside ! thanks 🙂

When I try to run AGPS it get and error for 2 last commands. Any ideas what could be an issue?

I also tried to enable "CONFIG_SLM_AGPS" in prj.conf but it doesn't help.

Any ideas? what more should be done or maybe something missed in the document of the example?

Best Regards,

Israel

Hi Israel,

As you may know, the place where you test is important. so please place the nRF9160-based device in a location with direct line of sight to a large portion of the sky and try again.

I got same result at the office, but had desirable result from out of the office as below:
