The Zephyr Project is a scalable real-time operating system (RTOS) supporting multiple hardware architectures, optimized for resource constrained devices, and built with security in mind.

The Zephyr OS is based on a small-footprint kernel designed for use on resource-constrained systems: from simple embedded environmental sensors and LED wearables to sophisticated smart watches and IoT wireless gateways.

1NCE Zephyr blueprint is a concise application that provides an overview of various features of 1NCE OS including Device Authenticator, IoT Integrator and Energy Saver. In combination with 1NCE SDK

The Blueprint works with following boards:

• nRF9160 Development Kit
• Thingy:91

Follow this guide to:

• Set up the 1NCE IoT C SDK with different features.
• Get the source code.
• Build, flash, and run Secure CoAP Application.

• nRF Connect SDK (v2.2.0)
• VS Code)
• West

1NCE IoT C SDK is a collection of C source files that can be used to connect and benefit from different services from 1NCE OS.

In order to integrate 1NCE IoT C SDK, you will need to go to nrf connect in your path (you can see in your Quick Setup VS Code

NOTE: It is recommended to extract the Zephyr SDK at %HOMEPATH%

• Open the west.yml %HOMEPATH%\ncs\v2.2.0\nrf\west.yml
• Add in name-allowlist name of our sdk module nce-sdk (NOTE: the list with alphabetical order).
• Go to %HOMEPATH%\ncs\v2.2.0\zephyr\submanifests rename example.yaml.sample to example.yaml and paste the following code on it.

manifest:
	projects:
		- name: nce-sdk
		  url: https://github.com/1NCE-GmbH/1nce-iot-c-sdk
		  revision: main

• Open a cmd.exe window by pressing the Windows key typing “cmd.exe”

cd %HOMEPATH%\ncs\v2.2.0
west update

• Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/1NCE-GmbH/blueprint-zephyr.git

• Open VS Code
• Go nRF Connect extension or press Ctrl+Alt+N
• Press Add an existing application
• Add the 1NCE Zephyr blueprint, which cloned in the first step.
• Add build configuration
• Choose the Board nrf9160dk_nrf9160_ns or thingy91_nrf9160_ns
• Press Build Configuration
• Connect your device with the Laptop
• Press DEBUG or Flash to flash the device.

To show the Log press NRF TERMINAL

• Press Start Terminal with new configuration.
• Press Serial Port
• Choose the Port used by nRF DK

To easily test our default setup, follow these steps using the provided binaries for the specific demo you wish to assess on the Thingy:91:

1. Begin by removing the plastic covering from the Thingy:91.
2. Ensure that the Thingy:91 is connected to your computer using a micro-USB cable.
3. Put the Thingy:91 into DFU mode by first powering it off, then pressing the black button while switching to the ON position.
4. Launch the nRF Connect for Desktop application and open the Programmer tool.
5. Click on "SELECT DEVICE" and choose the Thingy:91 entry from the drop-down list.
6. In the left menu, select "Add file" in the File section, and then click "Browse". Choose the XXX.hex file in the thingy_binaries folder.
7. Scroll down and ensure that "Enable MCUboot" is selected in the left menu.
8. Click on "write" in the left menu. This action opens the MCUboot DFU window. Press the "write" button in the MCUboot DFU window.
9. Once the update is complete, a "Completed successfully" message will appear.

This demo includes the following firmware options:
