I have my board and thought I would give it a whurl. However, I can’t compile the Blinky app. Output from the west build is below. `– west build: making bui...

mikcatta @jaredwolff I use the pre-built binary, can I set a custom APN for use with my O2/Telefonica SIM?

~~Unfortunately not.~~

mikcatta actually you should be able to set a APN if it doesn’t get set already. Have you tried without editing anything? Otherwise you can try something like this in LTE Link Monitor:

AT+CGDCONT="0,\"IPv4v6\",\"internet.apn\""

Whereas you can replace internet.apn with your APN.

Hope that helps!

mikcatta Hi @jaredwolf I was just following the instructions on your website, if that doesn’t work, can you clarify that on the site at the URL https://docs.jaredwolff.com/nrf9160-agps-sample.html ?

As long as you checkout bb259bfad1fa3572563444edb512fc8a6f12a3f4 or newer for the NRF SDK portion it should work. From the output though it looks like you’re using an older version as NRF_CLOUD_CLIENT_ID_PREFIX didn’t exist before bb259bfad1fa3572563444edb512fc8a6f12a3f4

All of this is available in NCS 1.4.0 and above.

@mikcatta so I spent some time playing around with compiling with the Toolchain Manager and had some success with the NFED repo.

I used v1.4.1 and it work a-ok. Simply open a bash prompt or command prompt. This will pre-load your environment:

You’ll have to copy your nrf9160-feather folder from nfed into whichever nRF Connect SDK you’re using. In my case I put my SDK install in C:\ncs\v1.4.1\

Change directories and then compile as prescribed before: west build -b circuitdojo_feather_nrf9160ns -p

@mikcatta I updated my response about the APN above. Check it out.

Hi @jaredwolff

Yes!!!! That compiled ok on my Windows machine, thank you so much for struggling on with this.

My Hologram SIM said it was out of credit after 10 minutes of use, but now showing as “Connected”, so I am a bit confused as to whether that SIM is working or not. I will try again with the O2/Telefonica SIM, now I know how to set the APN.

Cheers for your assistance 🙂

mikcatta woohoo! Sorry about the SDK setup. Ill be using Nordic’s system since they’ve nicely packaged all the dependencies. I’ll be updating my documentation in the next week to reflect the new change. Very happy it’s working! 😀
