Bluetooth mesh serial example issues.

Hi,

I tried the serial example on the PCA10028/PCA10031 and PCA10040. I found that this demo will fail on both PCA10031 and PCA10040, like this:

Activating auto-logging. Current session state plus future input saved. Filename : COM6_17-235-13-43.log Mode : backup Output logging : False Raw input log : False Timestamping : False State
: active Python 3.6.1 (v3.6.1:69c0db5, Mar 21 2017, 18:41:36) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] Type 'copyright', 'credits' or 'license' for more information IPython 6.1.0 -- An enhanced Interactive Python. Type '?' for help.

In [1]: send(Echo("hello world")) 2017-08-23 13:43:54,579 - INFO - cmd Echo, timeout waiting for event

"Echo, timeout waiting for event" means?

The second issue is that, I can "erase all" on PCA10028 but it will fail when download the "serial" by SEGGER embedded studio. Anybody found the same issue?

You need to disable hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control when init the serial port object.

class Uart(threading.Thread, Device):
//def __init__(self, port, baudrate=115200, device_name=None, rtscts=True):
def __init__(self, port, baudrate=115200, device_name=None, rtscts=False):
    self.events_queue = collections.deque(maxlen=EVT_Q_BUF)
    threading.Thread.__init__(self)
    if not device_name:
        device_name = port
    self.device_name = device_name
    self.logger = logging.getLogger(self.device_name)
    Device.__init__(self, self.device_name)
    self._write_lock = threading.Lock()
    self.logger.debug("log Opening port %s, baudrate %s, rtscts %s", port, baudrate, rtscts)
    self.serial = Serial(port=port, baudrate=baudrate, rtscts=rtscts, timeout=0.1)
    self.keep_running = True
    self.start()

I solved the " timeout waiting for event " issue by editing " Additional load file " path to a soft device hex file. 

It is working fine now.

Hi vin_h,

can you please tell me where I can find "Additional load file"?
