To my knowledge you dont have this command in the mesh SDK.

You can flash it by entering the folder Mesh_SDK_folder\external\softdevice\s140_5.0.0-3.alpha, and then use the nrfjprog command like this: nrfjprog --family nrf52 --program s140_nrf52840_5.0.0-3.alpha_softdevice.hex

You can also combine step 1 and 2 like this: nrfjprog --family nrf52 -e && nrfjprog --family nrf52 --program s140_nrf52840_5.0.0-3.alpha_softdevice.hex

That might be the reason then. I was doing make flash_softdevice inside nRF5_SDK_14.0.0_3bcc1f7/examples/ble_central/ble_app_multilink_central/pca10056/s140/armgcc. Where can I run this command in the BT Mesh SDK?

In what directory did you use the "make flash_softdevice" command ?

Note that the Mesh 0.10.0-Alpha SDK uses S140 5.0.0-3.alpha, but the regular SDK uses the S140 5.0.0-2.alpha version. Make sure that you are using the correct SoftDevice version.

I am using nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v0.10.0-Alpha_src. I am testing the light switch example: client/server.

What SDK version are you using ? What example are you testing?

Hi Sigurd,

Thanks for your answer. I switched the order of steps, but I still can't run my program.

Hi,

The command nrfjprog --family nrf52 -e will erase all user available program flash memory and the UICR page. So in step 2 you are erasing the S140 SoftDevice. Try to switch the order between step 1 and step 2.
