Fanstel BT832 module mesh client stuck in nrf_mesh_sdk.c, 187, Initializing softdevice

Fanstel BT832 module mesh client stuck in  nrf_mesh_sdk.c,  187, Initializing softdevice. When I upload the code on the NRF52 DK It works, but when I upload with segger embedded studio it to the Fanstel BT832 module DK it keep stuck on the softdevice (which is the same ‘s132_nrf52_3.1.0_softdevice.hex’) Whilst debugging it gets stuck in mesh_core_setup(); function. I am using the standard light switch example without any changes. I have two BT832 board and both have the same problem. Does anybody know what I am doing wrong?

It does not have the 32KHz crystal nor the DC/DC coils.  You need to change the configuration to use internal RC oscillator.

Try this BLE5 module. It is much better and complete with both the crystal & DC inductors inside.

Thanks for the info! @jimvanderheiden Have you tried changing the configuration to use the internal RC oscillator instead?

I just tried to change it external\nRF5_SDK_14.2.0_17b948a\components\boards of the mesh stack in the PCA pca10036 and pca10040 and it still has the same problem. this post is how I set the settings.

Seems like you have done this correctly. Did you use the same settings like in the link shown? and you are using the pca10040 light switch client & server examples, right?
