nRF Mesh SDK 2.0.1, unprovision a node

[Andre]

Hello,

I have a Mesh application using the nRF5 Mesh SDK version 2.0.1.

I wish to implement the possibility for a node to forget its provisioning status and become unprovisioned. This question has been asked before, but the solution for Mesh SDK 1.0.0, I've found here https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/34976/clear-all-provisioning-data-from-a-mesh-client, does not seem to work for version 2.0.1

As this does not seem to work, I am tempted to erase the flash manually. If there are no solutions in the API, I wish to proceed erasing the flash manually. Then I am to erase a number of pages under the bootloader. There is a a number of succeeding flash areas used by Mesh. How many are there that I should erase to perform this task manually, (If there is no nicer solution) 

Thanks,

Hi.

The solution in the post you linked to should still be valid.

This is demonstrated in the light_switch_server example in the SDK.

At line 126 in main.c, when pressing Button 4 on the development kit, the provisioning data will be erased and the node will reset.

Best regards,
Joakim.

Testing with the 2.0.1 proxy server example, which I used as a base for my implementation, the unprovisioning works as expected. However, in my modified version, which includes a custom model, some GPIO, TWI, RTC and PWM code, and been converted to an Eclipse project, it does not. What changes could prevent the unprovisioning to happen?

I have added by custom code to the proxy server example again in SES, which now works with unprovisioning. So for now, the problem is solved.

Hi again.

I'm glad you were able to solve it.
We do not recommend using Eclipse, nor do we have official support for it. So I do think the best solution here is to use SES.

You are welcome to open a new ticket if you face any other issues.

Best regards,
Joakim.
