SDK 15 and Mesh 2.0 Generate a DFU file with nrfutil - ValueError

[iotlight]

We used nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a and nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v2.0.0_src.

We are following DFU quick start guide http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.nordic.infocenter.meshsdk.v0.10.0%2Findex.html

For nRF52:

mesh-sdk$ nrfutil dfu genpkg --application bin/blinky/blinky_nrf52832_xxAA_s132_5.0.0.hex \

--company-id 0x00000089 \

--application-id 1 \

--application-version 2 \

--key-file private_key.txt \

--sd-req 0x009D \

--mesh dfu_test.zip

We used "--company-id 0x00000089 \" to match Step 2 public key:

{

"bootloader_config": {

"bootloader_id": 1,

"bootloader_version": 1,

"company_id": 89,

"application_id": 1,

"application_version": 1,

"public_key": "ed09a58df6db5cd15b8637304f31d31f4042492ed7c7e4839fbe903f260a2ba1a855e92b72885825481ad56282bcf549ad7455ec46f000f0f62d97eeec883ba6"

}

}

The hex we used is C:\Nordic\nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a\mesh_sdk\bin\blinky\blinky_nrf52832_xxAA_s132_5.0.0.hexblinky_nrf52832_xxAA_s132_5.0.0.hex

We got ValueError, please see attached screen shot. 

Please advise.  Thanks

Hi Bjorn,

We started everything from scratch following the DFU quick start guide from step 1 to step 4, then we got stuck

Software Development Kit > nRF5 SDK for Mesh > nRF5 SDK for Mesh v2.0.1 > Getting started

Please see my attached cmd scripts files

This is the private_key.txt, we used this private_key.txt file for "nrfutil keys --show-vk hex private_key.txt" .

We got the exact same "TypeError" as before.  Please advise.  Thanks.
