nRF Connect SDK v2.7.x Installation

The Conexio devices currently only support ZephyrRTOS. To access all the features and capabilities, Nordic Semiconductor has developed the nRF Connect SDK (NCS) that enables you to develop applications for nRF91 Series devices that power Conexio cellular devices.

To support all the latest power and cellular features of the nRF9161, nRF9151, and nRF9160 SiP, Conexio Stratus devices, and all the sample applications will only support nRF Connect SDK v2.7.x or newer.

To make nRF Connect SDK installation a breeze, follow the following steps.

• Download and install a cross-platform tool nRF Connect for Desktop for your operating system.

• Install and run the nRF Connect tool on your machine.

• Click Install next to the Toolchain manager as shown below.

• Select nRF Connect SDK v2.7.0 and click Install. Depending on your internet speed, it may take a few tens of minutes, so go and grab yourself a cup of coffee ☕

• Once the installation is complete, click the dropdown menu and hit Open Terminal.

• This will open the terminal in the installed directory of the nRF Connect SDK as indicated. In our case nordic/ncs/v2.7.0.

Hooray🎉 . You have completed the first milestone.
