Correct handling of flash manager required

RE: Correct handling of flash manager required

Investigations and many tests showed, that the reported problem is not the root cause of the problem we have, but just a side effect.

Basically the procedure for deleting the network configuration and restarting the device:

mesh_stack_config_clear()
flash_manager_remove()
mesh_stack_device_reset()

works in principle when using mesh SDK.

Therefore I propose you remove this ticket

Still we have problems in the area of

provisioning in interaction with flash
coexistence of Mesh with BLE and DFU

... but these issues we handle in other tickets if we can’t solve them.

I will answer you within the next days as I would like to make some more tests and investigations before keeping you busy.

Nevertheless I will need some more information about correct parameters and usage of the flash manager.

I will let you know.

Where/how do you store the node address list, etc? Can you post your project showing how you are doing things?

That's what we are already doing.

mesh_stack_config_clear();
then
mesh_stack_device_reset();

The problem is: This is not deleting the values we store (node address list , ...)

You can use mesh_stack_config_clear() API if you want to clear network data.

What Mttrinh meant is that you should not call flash_manager_init(), as this is already called by the stack. You should still be able to call flash_manager_add() to add your own instance of the flash manager to store production data.

There is quite a lot of data and we would not like to store it in these registers.

Hi,

How much production data are you storing? Have you considered storing it in the UICR CUSTOMER registers?

Best regards,
