nRF52840 Dongle programming for Mesh

Hi Guys,

We started to develop a mesh network with nRF52840 DK's and dongles. I have made some adjustments in the code with segger to use the server example of the led switch example for the developmentkits. Then I programmed the dongles with the nRF Connect v 2.5.0. The first time i provisoned them into the network it worked well and we could test it. But then i got the problem that if I tried to build up a new network it isn't possible to provision the dongles in to the network. Could this possibly be an issue with the memory? So the dongle think he is still in the other network?

Is it possible to erase the Dongles without erasing the bootloader?

  • Sorry I mean I made ajustments to use the example with the dongle not the DK.

  • Hi Michel, 

    Before you can provision a node to work in a new network, you would need to reset the node, erase provisioning information on flash. You can find an example of doing it in the light switch\server example. In button_event_handler() when button 3 pressed we will clear provisioning information and reset the node so it can be provisioned in a new network.
