Connecting nRF9160 feather to LTE link monitor

raj

Hello,
Does the feather connect to the LTE link monitor app?
I have tried it to connect, but the serial port of the LTE link monitor says No devices available. Similar when trying to connect to nRF programmer.
Unsupported device. The detected device could not be recognized as neither JLink device nor Nordic USB device.
I guess this is due to the serial to the USB converter that is on-board is different than that recognized by the nRF Connect.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

jaredwolff thank you. I think I missed this section. Will try it out.

Thanks, the LTE link monitor now works after following the outline however, the programmer still does not recognize the device.

Link monitor OK as shown.

raj check out the documentation on external programming here:
https://docs.jaredwolff.com/nrf9160-programming-and-debugging.html#requirements-for-external-programming-and-debugging

Otherwise you can load new firmware using newtmgr here:

Atm newtmgr is my goto for flashing the device, so no problem there.
But was just trying to set everything up so that it also works with nRF apps.

Thanks

raj Gotcha. You need an external programmer to use the nRF app. Hope that makes sense!
