nRF9160: SLM Shell

The SLM Shell sample demonstrates how to send AT commands to modem through the Serial LTE Modem application running on nRF9160 SiP. This sample enables an external MCU to send modem or SLM proprietary AT commands for LTE connection and IP services.

Requirements 

SLM application should be configured to use UART_2 on nRF9160 side.

The sample supports the following development kits:

Hardware platforms	PCA	Board name	Build target
nRF5340 DK	PCA10095	nrf5340dk_nrf5340	`nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpuapp`
nRF52840 DK	PCA10056	nrf52840dk_nrf52840	`nrf52840dk_nrf52840`

Connect the DK with a nRF9160 DK based on the pin configuration in DTS overlay files of both sides.

The following table shows how to connect PCA10056 UART_1 to nRF9160 UART_2 for communication through UART:

nRF52840 DK	nRF9160 DK
UART TX P1.02	UART RX P0.11
UART RX P1.01	UART TX P0.10
GPIO OUT P0.11 (Button1)	GPIO IN P0.31
GPIO IN P0.13 (LED1 optional)	GPIO OUT P0.30 (optional)
GPIO GND	GPIO GND

The following table shows how to connect PCA10095 UART_2 to nRF9160 UART_2 for communication through UART:

nRF5340 DK	nRF9160 DK
UART TX P1.04	UART RX P0.11
UART RX P1.05	UART TX P0.10
GPIO OUT P0.23 (Button1)	GPIO IN P0.31
GPIO IN P0.28 (LED1 optional)	GPIO OUT P0.30 (optional)
