Unexpected event:24

When I try to run the 3 server, 1 client light control example, This is the log that follows:

Also, what does this error imply: provisioner.c, 235, Unexpected event: 24.

thank you Rahul

Hi,

Event 24 is "NRF_MESH_EVT_SAR_FAILED". There is also a reason for the failure which you can find by inspecting p_evt.

add the following to your code:

case NRF_MESH_EVT_SAR_FAILED:
__LOG(LOG_SRC_APP, LOG_LEVEL_INFO, "SAR FAILED: packet %u, reason %u\n", p_evt->params.sar_failed.packet_id, p_evt->params.sar_failed.reason);
break;

In your case the failure reason is probably

NRF_MESH_SAR_CANCEL_REASON_RETRY

As you can see in the logs there are many TX's but no RX. your server is not responding to the requests sent by the client and the client is trying to resend them until it hits a limit, and that seems to be because your server has stoped working (see the MESH_ASSERT in your logs.) You should check where the ASSERT is happening.

I'm aware where the fault is happening and that the servers aren't responding. The ASSERT happens upon multiple calls from the server and immediately after the client is switched on. I would like to know how i could fix this issue. rgds rahul
