The error message shows up after building the mesh demo code to thingy 52

[William]

Hi

I following the steps listed in the document Thingy Mesh Demo v0.1

https://github.com/NordicPlayground/Nordic-Thingy52-mesh-demo

When i perform the step 5  "Open the workspace under "Thingy_node\pca20020_s132\ses",
compile and download the firmware into multiple Thingy devices which will play the role as "Nodes"."

In Segger Embedded Studio, select Target on toolbar > Download Thingy node

After compiling, the error message shows up when downloading to Thingy as below:

How to solve this problem?

Thanks!

Hello William,

Would you please help me to check:

1. Have you executed the "setup_sdk.bat" which inside the "Nordic-Thingy-52-FW" folder? Have you met any error messages?

2. Is there a folder "sdk_components" inside the "Nordic-Thingy-52-FW" folder?

3. Under the path "Nordic-Thingy52-FW\sdk_components\softdevice\s132\hex", is there the softdevice file "s132_nrf52_4.0.2_softdevice.hex" inside ?

1. I rerun all step from 1 to 5(delete old, create new), After executed the “setup_sdk.bat”, The log capture as attach file. (seems to no error?)

2. The folder “sdk_components” is available in the “Nordic-Thingy-52-FW” folder

3. There is no file “”, in the foldar Nordic-Thingy52-FW\sdk_components\softdevice\s132\hex, Where can i find this file?

Hello William,

I would assume you faced some path or naming/encoding issue in windows system.

Would you please:

1. Copy the softdevice "s132_nrf52_4.0.2_softdevice.hex" which is under: "Nordic-Thingy52-FW\external\sdk13\components\softdevice\s132\hex" to the "Nordic-Thingy52-FW\sdk_components\softdevice\s132\hex" 

2. Or, please right click the on the project and choose "Edit options" like

And select the column "Debug" -> "Loader", and choose "Additional Load file[0]"

And modfiy the path by selecting the softdevice hex file which is under 

"Nordic-Thingy52-FW\external\sdk13\components\softdevice\s132\hex\s132_nrf52_4.0.2_softdevice.hex"

Hope this can do help :)

There is no file "s132_nrf52_4.0.2_softdevice.hex" can be found under the "C:\Nordic\mesh2\Nordic-Thingy52-FW-release-v2.1.0\external\sdk13\components\softdevice\s132\hex"

Can i use the newest version of softdevice(.hex) to replace this file? Such as s132_nrf52_6.0.0_softdevice.hex

Or, Where can i download this file "s132_nrf52_4.0.2_softdevice.hex"

Thanks!

Hello William,

No, I won't suggest you use the latest softdevice, some of the API may not compatible.

I would assume you download the Thingy project zip file from nordicsemi.com.

I would like to suggest you download the entire project from the github:

https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/Nordic-Thingy52-FW

Or simply use the hex inside:

https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/Nordic-Thingy52-FW/tree/master/external/sdk13/components/softdevice/s132/hex

Hope this can do help :)

[William]

Thanks!

After re-download the entire project from the github, The problem of error message is solved!

But, I have opnother questions for the demo document

https://github.com/NordicPlayground/Nordic-Thingy52-mesh-demo

1. Follow the step 7, After Thingy bridge turned on, We should look the red breath light, But current we look is yellow breath light! Is it correct?
(Now, I have complete 2 device, One as Thingy bridge(yellow breath light), another one is Thingy node(green flash light), Both is standalone, it is seen not connected.)

2. It can disable the auto-provisioning function by undefine the macro "AUTO_PROV", Where can i find (What file can find this marco?)

3. Follow the step 9, Where can i download the APP "nRFMesh", Is this an Android app? (I cannot find this app under Android Play Market)
