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

Thanks Bjorn.  Yes, Step 4 works now.  We continued following the DFU quick start guide, but since Step 8 stated that "Building the mesh stack. If you have built them with Segger Embedded Studio, you can flash the DFU example directly from the IDE, as described in the build-guide, and move on to step 9."

I think we got step 8 done, but not sure how to verify it so we just skipped step 8 and move to step 9.  Now we are up to Step 10.  Please see the attached CMD Scripts that 

Failed to upgrade target. Error is: Serial port could not be opened on COM48. Re
ason: could not open port u'COM48': WindowsError(2, 'The system cannot find the
file specified.')
