Hello,
I'm trying to use the mesh DFU on 2 nRF52840 DK by following the quick start guide and it didn't work.
Using the mesh sdk 2.0.1 I made the below batch file as described on the quick guide
title Balise firmware update over mesh
Welcome to nRF DFU test version
echo Step 3. Generate a DFU file with nrfutil
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Nordic Semiconductor\nRFgo Studio

pause
When trying to verify the bootloader with bootloader_verify.py it get halt on "resetting device..." (see picture below)
I have used device_page_generator.py and bootloader_verify.phy from mesh sdk v2.2.0 since the original scripts have some bugs.
Here the full log of the process

when trying to run the update I get

Upgrading target on COM26 with DFU package C:\Python27\Scripts\app_dfu_package.zip. Flow control is enabled.
[------------------------------------] 0%Starting DFU upgrade of type 4, SoftDevice size: 0, bootloader size: 0, application size: 1656
Sending DFU start packet, afterwards we wait for the flash on target to be initialized before continuing.
Timed out waiting for acknowledgement from device.
Failed to upgrade target. Error is: No data received on serial port. Not able to proceed.
Possible causes:
- bootloader, SoftDevice or application on target does not match the requirements in the DFU package.
- baud rate or flow control is not the same as in the target bootloader.
- target is not in DFU mode. If using the SDK examples, press Button 4 and RESET and release both to enter DFU mode.
Please, advice me if I'm missing something here ?
Thank you
