west update v1.3.1 fails

K2AAE · 2021-02-05T09:50:37+00:00

I installed v1.3.1 and added the sections needed to west.yml I watched it update: === updating nfed (nfed): — nfed: fetching, need revision v1.4.x From https...

I put the prj.conf inside of </> code but it hits the # and changes the font size I guess

I built all the samples but the sms and ran them. Reading (me reading) the SLM docs it talks about configuring uart 0 to talk to the PC as default, there is a nrf9160dk_nrf9160ns.overlay file shows 10,11,12,13 for uart 2, and in prj.conf I commented out uart 0 and un-commented uart 2 then watched the build blow up… The feather is using p0.5 & p0.6 without RTS/CTS

Is this why I can not see any AT or is the command line west build -b circuitdojo_feather_nrf9160ns making it ignore the nrf9160dk_nrf9160ns.overlay file?

I found: https://community.jaredwolff.com/d/60-serial-lte-modem-example-compilation-problem
which had https://docs.jaredwolff.com/nrf9160-serial-lte-modem-sample.html
and discovered the bin file for serial_lte_modem but I had already tried that version.
It appears that was SDK v1.3.2 because v1.4.1 has different files in the directory but I tried it anyway, nope.
I tried to figure out the fw version and SDK magic but gave up, it shows fw 1.1.4 using sdk 1.4.2 and fw 1.2.1 (feather v2) sdk 1.3.1 for fw 1.2.2 sdk 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 so how does fw 1.1.4 rank sdk 1.4.2?
If my SIM was working on the nrf9160-dk I’d try 1.1.4+1.4.2 to see if it works.
oh ya, -p = –clean

K2AAE if you need an AT interface the at_client example is a good start. Also the firmware that comes shipped on the device (I sent you that HEX image earlier) allows you to issue AT commands.

Actually it wasn’t you but here’s the forum link: https://community.jaredwolff.com/d/76-issue-with-dfu-mode

jaredwolff I get the same, Not allowed to download, I logged out and back in but Not allowed to download.

K2AAE man this forum does not way to play nice sometimes!

K2AAE If anyone has installed the D:\ncs\v1.4.1\nrf\applications\serial_lte_modem OR D:\ncs\v1.4.1\nrf\samples\nrf9160\at_client
What modem firmware and bootloader and SDK and version of feather ?

What am I missing that I can’t get a bin (bootloader) or hex (jlink) image to work?
I installed bootloader V2 does that make a difference?

I think you’re trying too many things at one time. It’s hard to isolate what the problem is. I would erase the chip and re-flash the bootloader. Put it in bootloader mode and make sure you can talk to it using newtmgr. I’m assuming you’ve already used the newtmgr command successfully at some point?

Once you get the above, then you can move on to the next step which would be to build the at_client firmware and load it with newtmgr. Make sure you hit the reset button on the board after loading or issue the newtmgr -c serial reset command.

I’ll build the at_client .bin and .hex and share it here if you need to compare a working environment to what you have set up on your end.

I installed SDK v1.3.2, added the stuff to west.yml, edit the prj.conf and tried to build, it couldn’t find the board. v1.3.2/zephyr/boards/arm was missing the feather board, copied it from v1.4.1 and built the at software with no errors, installed and no AT response.

jaredwolff I couldn’t sleep last night so I plugged the nrf9160-dk in and using v1.4.99 build I built and ran everything that didn’t use LTE, worked great. I had already built everything in nfed but the SMS example with v1.4.1 but I must have screwed up the at and serial_lte_modem source some how in v1.4.1.

I used the pdk with your at merged.hex with nrfjprog –program merged.hex –chiperase
It happened so fast I thought something was wrong and used the nRF Connect programmer to look at the feathers memory, it was good. Shut off the PDK and used putty:
AT
OK
a first…
I guess I’ll figure out how to remove v1.4.1 (v1.3.1, 1.3.2 also) then install a clean version of v1.4.1 and add nfed with the current directions… Thanks for your help on this moving disaster I created!
I have the IMEI now.

K2AAE Nice! Glad to see you’re making some progress now. 🙂

Using a hologram SIM:

But on the git examples I get:
D:\ncs\v1.4.1\nfed>west init -m https://github.com/circuitdojo/nrf9160-feather-examples-and-drivers –mr main
FATAL ERROR: already initialized in D:\ncs\v1.4.1, aborting.
Note:
In your environment, ZEPHYR_BASE is set to:
D:\ncs\v1.4.1\zephyr

This forces west to search for a workspace there.
Try unsetting ZEPHYR_BASE and re-running this command.

D:\ncs\v1.4.1\nfed>

I did find the modem FW at v1.2.3 now.

K2AAE you shouldn’t run west init twice. You can add nfed to the west.yml as per the setup instructions.

jaredwolff I found that:
https://github.com/circuitdojo/nrf9160-feather-examples-and-drivers
I have the west.yml modified but forgot that the new way brings the git with west update
While I was trouble shooting a non existent problem I compared the UART in nfr9160-DK to the feather and noticed a CP2105 would mirror the UART setup of the DK for 1mm and 20¢.
