NRF52832 development kit need confirm with mesh!!

[Quangca]

Dear every one.

My company has ordered 20 development kit NRF52840 for our Mesh project. We will receive these board 1 week later.

But i have 1 preview development kit NRF52832, i try to load firmware of light_switch project to my development kit NRF52832.

the path to open light_switch project sample is : \\nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v2.1.0\examples\light_switch\provisioner\light_switch_provisioner_nrf52832_xxAA_s132_6_0_0.

I built and load firmware successful but nothing happened. I also try with client and server example, result the same nothing happened.

My board is still good,  run well with nRF_SDK_11,12,13,14,15 with all application: beacon, promixity,...

I search on nordic devzone forum, nordic info center and see that, LED on our development kit will be flash if build and load firmware successful..

What is my issue? i have only 1 NRF52832 board. I don't have enough board for checking is the main issue???

Hi,

Not sure what you mean by nothing happened?

Since you only have one board at the moment, you can try flashing over light switch proxy server example and use your phone to provision your device. On you phone use the nRF Mesh app, works for both iOS and Android. 

When you get the other boards, I suggest you have a look at the Quick Start Guide for the nRF5 SDK for Mesh. This quick start guide gives a quick demonstration of the Bluetooth Mesh network and introduces you to some of the basic concepts.

Hello Mttrinh,

thank you for the support,

nothing happened, i mean: when i flash softdevive and firmware for Nrf528232 DK, i dont see have any LED light.

I load softdevive and firmware all client, server, proxy_client, proxy_server, the result is the same.

No LED light, i am also scan by NRF mesh app it notice:"Can't see your node".

Scan by NRF Connect i see nothing. So i think my the softdevive and firmware dont run.

I debug and seem it not jump to main function.

before load softdevive and firmware, i earased nrf52832 IC before

Do you have any idea.

Can you tell me if NRF52832 run well what happened with my board. which LED will light or blink.

BY the way, i only have NRF52832  preview kit.

is it the same result NRF52832 DK. When i load light switch prorogram.

The LED won't blink when advertising like the examples from nRF5 SDK. You should see all the LED blink twice when flashing the example, then they will be off. You should be able to see the device advertising as "nRF5x Mesh Light" in either nRF Mesh or nRF Connect, when using the proxy server example. Tried with other phones? 

I don't think it will have much different between regular DK and preview DK, but I dontæ have a preview kit here so won't be able to test it.
