How to use the nRF9160 DK board in offline mode (without IoT Sim or services )

Hi,

I am using the nRF9160 DK board and want to use it in offline mode (without IoT Sim or services ),

Actually, I am living in India and here we don't have IoT SIM, but I have installed ibasis sim on my board that comes with it . There is no coverage for IoT, so it is not receiving Signals.

I want to use DK without connecting it to azure IoT and let it shows all the data on the LTE monitor.

But I am unable to do that, I have been trying to figure it out for a very long.

Please help me to do so

Have a look at the errors generated while using it with the IoT sim that is not working (i.e. No signals)

Application: Firmware

NCS version latest

NOTE: Please respond Fast

Hello Sachin,

I want to use DK without connecting it to azure IoT and let it shows all the data on the LTE monitor.

The Asset Tracker v2 is designed to demonstrate the functionality of the nRF9160 modem. Hence, without the device being able to establish both a network and server connection, it will not work.

If you would like to visualise sensor data only, you can:

Modify the Asset Tracker v2 source code to only print sensor data. That being said, I strongly recommend you not to do that.

Zephyr provides separate sensor samples for each sensor type the Asset Tracker v2 is using. They are not designed to operate with the nRF9160 modem, which should fit to your purposes. You can merge the respective samples to one custom application providing all the data you would like to visualise.

Another option would be to contact local carriers and check availability of a NB-IoT SIM card. Thus, the nRF9160 modem will be able to connect to the network making the Asset Tracker v2 operate as intended.

Regards,

Markus
