Thingy 91 Blinky Example

[JosephAzar]

So i purchased the thingy 91 eval board to try it out and see if it will be easy to work with.

I was able to follow the instructions and get vs code working properly and building, so i tried the blinky sample to see if I can blink the led light.

I managed to get it to build properly following the instructions and they explain how to flash it using the programmer in the nrf connect for desktop, it flashed properly and gave me the green progress saying it finished in 18 seconds.

I turn it off and on and I get nothing, no blinking light, no nothing.

Can someone please advise?

Hello,

Really sorry I overlooked. Yes you can try the blinky sample with thingy91 but you should try with the external debugger. Or if you are trying with the nrf connect programmer app then you need to upload the app_signed.hex file in the build folder.  

For obtaining the file you need to build the sample  with boardname thingy91_nrf9160_ns and update with app_signed.hex. After programming, power off/on the thingy91, it should blink with red.

Kind Regards,
