programming external nrf9160 SOC using nrf9160DK

[Muhammad Usman]

Hi All! 

I am trying to program the external nrf9160 SOC using nrf9160 DK using the following connections. Before that, I tried the same connections to program the nrf52820 SOC using nrf52833DK and was able to program it successfully!

Now I am following the same connections, I am using VS code studio to program the nrf9160 external SOC. Can you please help me to find the solution?

Now when I am programming the external nrf9160 SOC using nrf9160 DK. I am getting the following errors on vscode studio and the program failed to load.

 

I tried this link 

 Programming external board with nRF9160 DK 

this link works perfectly for nrf52833DK for programming external nrf52820 SOC. But not with nrf9160DK to program the external nrf9160 SOC.

Thanks a lot for the help in advance!

Best Regards,

Hello Usman,

I would like to know few more information about your setup (picture); how these two boards are connected and how do you power up your custom board etc. You can send us the schematic of your design. 

Thanks.

Hello Usman,

You have to make sure that ENABLE pin is pulled high on the custom board or else it will not start the 9160.

Can you try this and see if it possible to program?

Thanks.

Hello Kazi, 

Thank you so much for your time and response! Yes, are making it high via nrf52833 at startup. One thing more we can do is to make it high/pull up directly instead of nrf52833. I will update you further on this after these changes.

Thanks and Regards,
