Unable to view printk output of Hello_World code on nrf9160dk

[nrffan18]

Hi, 

I am unable to view the output of the prink statement on the SES debug terminal. I'm a beginner so please bear with my lack of knowledge.

Should I be looking for the output somewhere else? I was able to view the output on the debug terminal on a different laptop but am unable to see it on my current one. 

I have currently not added anything to the prj.conf file. Is there something I should be adding here?

Thank you.

Hello, 

Have you tried the LTE Link Monitor app available in the nRF Connect for Desktop? This will provide output out of the box. This is configured when building for the nRF9160dk, see board files for the DK for more information (zephyr\boards\arm\nrf9160dk_nrf9160\)

SES can only handle RTT from what I understand. 

Have you looked at our VS code extension? See this YouTube play list This includes the nRF Terminal which allows you to have the terminal running while editing code in VS Code. 

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Hi, I am able to see the output on the LTE Link Monitor. Thank you!

Is there any way I can configure it so that it displays the output on the debug terminal? My ultimate goal is to connect some sensors to the board and send their data to the nrfcloud (these are sensors that do not have a UI on the nrfcloud). So I plan to use the prink statement initially to help verify that my sensors are sending data properly.

Hi is there any update on this?

No, I'm afraid the best solution is either use VS Code or use LTE Link Monitor to see terminal. 

Kind regards,
