LOG freeze at mqtt

[Jensenius]

Using a NRF9160DK. SDK2.0.0. Modem 1.3.2.

I have a problem when setting up a new NRF board to run with MQTT with AWS. 

When the setup is running, I get LOG <inf> for modem connect and the broker IP and then when mqtt_connect is run there are no more LOG events. (And the callback function is not activated). I have tried setting in some printk, which prints fine after the mqtt_connect. The printk sees at is get CONACK and SUBACK and that I publish to the MQTT. AWS logs also show that the publish is received and a response is created and published. 

The code is borrowed from mqtt_simple. the mqtt_connect function returns errorcode 0.

The strange thing is I have 1 board running as should.

It is at aws.c by the 536 the log stops. when mqtt_connect is called.

Could you try adding these lines to your prj.conf file:

CONFIG_NET_LOG=y
CONFIG_MQTT_LOG_LEVEL_DBG=y

This is what the terminal respons with. The log is still not responding on events hapening after.

Hm I see, could you please share your git repo, it would be easier for us to try running the code locally that way.
