Hello!
I’ve been going through the documentation provided to set up the nRF9160 on Windows and test using the Blinky, Button, or GPS functionalities. I was able to do all the steps successfully from the step of Run Setup, Init the repo, build the sample, Run Newtmgr, up to Load Serial Monitor and Bootloader.
After I run the Zephyr Tools: Load Via Bootloader and Monitor, the device gets reset but nothing gets executed and the LED doesn’t blink. It only shows me the following in the terminal:
Connected to COM3!
FYI, this is what I get when building the Blinky application:

Would anyone please provide an insight on how to get the application to execute something. In the case of Blinky, It supposed to blink an LED forever
Much appreciated,
