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 :)

[William]

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!

[Jui-Chou (Rick) Chung]

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)

[Jui-Chou (Rick) Chung]

Hello William,

Great that now the firmware can be compiled

Regarding with your questions now:

1. No, it is not correct. The bridge should not change it color. Would you please use nrfjprog to erase the Thingy and reprogram it? If it still doesn't help, please attach the J-Link and open the RTT viewer to see if there's any error log? Or please program the precompiled hex to see if the bridge works or not 
https://github.com/NordicPlayground/Nordic-Thingy52-mesh-demo/tree/master/precompiled_hex

2. The AUTO_PROV is in here
https://github.com/NordicPlayground/Nordic-Thingy52-mesh-demo/blob/master/Thingy_bridge/pca20020_s132/ses/sdk_mod/provisioner.c#L60

3. For now the nRFMesh is only for internal test and is not available to the public at current stage.

I would like to suggest you use nRFConnect on Android with the newest macro for demo
https://github.com/NordicPlayground/Nordic-Thingy52-mesh-demo/tree/master/nRFConnect_macros/nRF%20Connect%204.18%20or%20newer

[William]

Thanks!

After use the nrfjprog to erase the Thingy and reprogram, The problem is solved!
The Thingy bridge and Thingy node can auto connection, And the bridge can control light via button on the Thingy.

After use the RFConnect on the Android phone and loaded the macro from link,

My procedure is "menu => Configure GATT server => press "Sample configuration" on the top bar => press the "downlaod icon" => load the [Thongy Mesh Demo.xml].

The error message "attribute 'lang' does not have a match in class no.nordicsemi.android.mcp.server.domain.ServerConfiguration at line 8" shows up.

How to solve this problem?

Hello William,

Glad to hear that the demo works

I would like to suggest you check the following link for import the "Thingy Mesh Demo.xml"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWOws3uhN6o

This video was prepared for old macros, but we can use the same way to import the "Thingy Mesh Demo.xml".
