Getting error : boards.h: No such file or directory , nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v2.1.1_src using Segger Embedded Studio V3.28

[raulp]

I have downloaded nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v2.1.1_src and tryign to build the client and server example to test the Lighting Mesh example from the Android/iOS apps available on the store.

I have read in the forums that I need to flash both the client and server examples.

I am getting the error : boards.h: No such file or directory when I open the project light_switch_client_nrf52832_xxAA_s132_6_0_0 and build it (F7).

I am using this board : https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/nordic-semiconductor-asa/NRF52-DK/1490-1053-ND/5773879

Did I miss some path to some thing?

Is there any available binaries which I can flash directly? Also is the software correct for the board I am using?

Plz assist

Many Thanks !

Hello Raulp, 

For running the example in nRF5 mesh SDK v2.1.1, the nRF5 SDK 15 is needed.  

We need to download nRF5 SDK 15, extract and place it at "the same folder" with nRF5 mesh SDK v2.0.0.

Please reference the following link:

https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.nordic.infocenter.meshsdk.v2.0.0%2Fmd_doc_getting_started_how_to_build.html&cp=4_1_0_3_1#Manually

Hope it can do help

Hello Raulp,

Have you download the nRF5 SDK 15 and put it in the same folder with nRF5 mesh SDK?

If you have done that, please try to compile the example in Segger Embedded Studio again, and there's no need to use cmake.

If you really want to try cmake, please check:

infocenter.nordicsemi.com/.../md_doc_getting_started_how_to_build_cmake.html

I am having now issue in flashing the board. This could be the IT related issue at my office but still wanted to ask.

I am using J-Flash but on the device Manager I am getting the attached snapshot(the board is being showed as a Mass storage device, LED4 keeps on Blinking while LED5 is constantly ON)

Please assist.
