Kazi, greetings.
Thank you for your answer.

I am sorry: I can not find the right executable file in spite of I it looks like I did everything correctly. Where the "nrfjprog" should be located?

Br, Toni.

Kazi, greetings.
Thank you for your answer.

To tell the truth, I did not get: where to apply the "nrfjprog" command.

And where did you take this information?

Do I need to operate with:
- AT Client application or
- Modem Shell application?

Br, Toni.

Hello Anton,

You can get the information from the FICR registers. Though it is not that straight forward. Since the HWID is the Bluetooth MAC address of the nRF52840 on the nRF9160 dk.

So, in order for the application running on the nRF9160 to get the HWID, it must first be read from the nRF52840.

Please have a look these following links from previous cases

(+) nRF9160DK HWID - Nordic Q&A - Nordic DevZone - Nordic DevZone (nordicsemi.com)

(+) IMEI and HWID - Nordic Q&A - Nordic DevZone - Nordic DevZone (nordicsemi.com)

You can use nrfjprog command to find the HWID. on the DK you have to select the nRF52 for programming (by default the switch is set to nRF91). The base address of FICR is

and the offset address is

So, the FICR.DEVICEADDR[0] it's 0x100000A4

Then write this command ''nrfjprog --memrd 0x100000A4''. For my DK it looks like

Thanks.
