Compiling SLM application

[LarsV]

I would like to use the SLM application for the nrf9160dk. I am having problems compiling the codebase on windows. 

Using Zephyrs west with the "west build" command results in an error about the Zephyr SDK(which i found out is not available on windows).

The tutorial Nordic has using the segger IDE does only work with older versions.

Is there a binary available or a more up to date tutorial i can follow?

Kind regards,

Lars Versteeg

Hi LarsV I just installed the latest NCS 1.8 last week on Windows.  If by SLM you are referring to serial LTE Modem, I just tested it and it compiled correctly on Windows 10 for a NRF9160 target using SES 5.68.  I had to follow the manual install procedure for NCS install as the auto install with VB Code would not work for me. Everything has been working great with SES so far.  Best.

Hi Lars,

Could you please post the error?

Is there a binary available

Yes. If you download the nRF9160-DK application and modem firmware and you will find a binaries and hex for the Serial LTE Modem in the zip-file.

Hi Hakon,

I've followd the link and downloaded the files. I've uploaded the "serial_lte_modem_2021-12-15_cfedfdfa.hex". When trying to connect via the LTE link monitor, i don't get any response from the board.

Hi Lars,

"Is there [...] a more up to date tutorial i can follow?

Have you considered nRF Connect for VS Code? Video tutorials are available.

Best regards,

LarsV forgot to mention that on the latest build I needed to add an overlay named for whichever_board_you're_using.overlay to the /boards directory in the current build directory containing the text,

&uart0 {
cts-pin = <0xFFFFFFFF>;
rts-pin = <0xFFFFFFFF>;
};

You may not need this depending on your hardware.
