Hi, I hope you are having a great day.

I just want to Know what are the steps or modifications to the SDK setup documentation for Linux to update the SDK version to 1.5.0, also I would like to know what is the version of Zephyr that is recommended to use with this version of the SDK.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but its my first time using a device like this and I really don’t know how to do It.

Best regards

Emilio

    Hey Emilio!

    The easiest way to upgrade is to download the 1.5.0 SDK and then copy paste the NFED folder plus anything else you’re using to the new SDK repo.

    Simply follow the same instructions provided in the documentation. (Windows)

    The main changes is that you’ll have to use a different SDK package:

    Mac: http://developer.nordicsemi.com/.pc-tools/toolchain/ncs-toolchain-v1.5.0-20210225-607a0e0-minimal.dmg
    Windows: http://developer.nordicsemi.com/.pc-tools/toolchain/ncs-toolchain-v1.5.0-20210225-607a0e0-minimal.zip

    (You use these in step 6 of either Mac or Windows instructions. Don’t download them directly.)

    When you get to step 10 make sure you use v1.5.x instead of v1.4.x:

    Ahh this branch is not published yet. Let me fix that.

    Hopefully that gets you going in the right direction.

    millocorona the NFED v1.5.x branch is not published yet but cloning the v1.4.x in there should work ok. Let me know if you run into any snags. I’ll push the v.1.5.x once I test the examples.

        jaredwolff Hi, I followed the steps as you originally said and it worked fine, i was able to compile the at_client example, but when I tried to flash the file into the board, newtmgr just stopped at 99% with error 3, I reaserched and you told someone that this error happens when you try to flash an image that is using an SDK version major of 1.3.2, and also you suggest that in order to fix the problem we need to use an external programmer to update the bootloader, unfortunatelly, a JLINK programmer is out of my reach at this time, so I will stay in 1.3.2.

        Originally I was trying to update the SDK because this versions of the SDK have a bug in the generation of true random numbers, and, in the Nordic forum they told me to update to 1.5.0 because hopefully in the 1.5.0 version the problem will be fixed, but right now I can’t test it.

            millocorona ahh darn. Which version of the board do you have?

            By the way, you can also use a J-Link Mini or a nRF91-DK for programming.

                jaredwolff I really don’t know the board version, Its a black one, and in the back its says “BRD-0015-01” I ordered it the 12/22/2020.

                Unfortunately I dont have neither of those :c

                But I found a workaround, Im just going to request some random numbers from a web service, I have a limited time to finish the prototype that I’m building for my Final project in the University, so for the time being this should do the work jajaja
