nRF9161 Support missing

[JyriLehtinen]

The tool lacks definitions for 9161 SoC.

Attempting to program modem firmware with

def program_modem_fw(snr=None, modem_fw_zip_path=None):
    if modem_fw_zip_path is None:
        print("ERROR: Path to firmware was not given")
        return False

    api = HighLevel.API()
    api.open()

    if snr is None:
        snr = api.get_connected_probes()

    for s in snr:
        print(f'Programming modem firmware to JLink {s}...')
        #probe = HighLevel.IPCDFUProbe(api, s, HighLevel.CoProcessor.CP_MODEM, jlink_arm_dll_path="/opt/nrfjprog")
        probe = HighLevel.IPCDFUProbe(api, s, HighLevel.CoProcessor.CP_MODEM)
        probe.program(modem_fw_zip_path)

results in pynrfjprog.APIError.APIError: An error was reported by NRFJPROG DLL: -90 NOT_AVAILABLE_BECAUSE_PROTECTION.

get_device_info() returns the following data: >>> info.__dict__ {'device_type': <DeviceVersion.NRF9120_xxAA_REV3: 152174594>, 'device_family': <DeviceFamily.NRF91: 91>, 'code_address': 4294967295, 'code_page_size': 0, 'code_size': 0, 'uicr_address': 4294967295, 'info_page_size': 0, 'code_ram_present': False, 'code_ram_address': 4294967295, 'data_ram_address': 4294967295, 'ram_size': 0, 'qspi_present': False, 'xip_address': 4294967295, 'xip_size': 0, 'pin_reset_pin': 0, 'dll_ret_code': -90}

I assume this is because Parameters.py lacks definitions for NRF9161.

Tested on Windows 11 with pynrfjprog 10.24.2, with nRF9161-DK v.1.0.0 SoC is NRF9161_xxAA_REV3, according nRF Connect SDK

Ok, changing the target coprosessor to CP_APPLICATION while attaching to the probe makes it functional again. Reference: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/110972/pynrfjprog-fails-to-program-nrf9161
