Not able to run the nrf Mesh SDK 3.0.0 for nrf52832 (PCA10040)

[AshokY]

Hi All,

I have downloaded the nRF Mesh SDk 3.0.0 and tried to run. I am trying to run the default  nrf5SDKforMeshv300src\examples\light_switch\server for 

Here is my software setup.

1) nRF5_SDK_15.2.0_9412b96

2) nrf5SDKforMeshv300src

The above two folders are in the same path.

I am using Segger embedded studio for ARM 3.5.0.

I was able to build and flash the image onto PCA1004. However I can not provision the device.

When I tried t debug, I found the code is hanging in ,

ret_code = sd_softdevice_enable(&clock_lf_cfg, app_error_fault_handler);  which is at line number 214, file nrf_sdh.c.

I have not modified any of the code, just running the default one.

Can anyone let me know, where the problem is?

Thanks,

Ashok Y

Have you programmed the SoftDevice?

What do you mean, "the image" ?

You need at least three images:

1. One development board for a client.
2. One development board for the provisioner 
3. One or more development boards for the servers.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I am using Segger embedded studio to connect to target and flash both the Softdevice and image (light_switch_server_nrf52832_xxAA_s132_6.1.0.elf). Here I am using Light switch server example. Also, I am planning to use the nRF Mesh mobile app as provisioner .

In mesh 2.2.0, I don't need one development board for client. Here in 3.0.0 is it mandatory to have separate client board?

Thanks,

Ashok Y

You can't have a MESH - of any sort - with just one one node!

[AshokY]

Yes. To get Mesh topology I will add more nodes once I am OK with one.

My question is in 3.0.0 I wanted to use the Light switch server (Proxy enables)  example and the Mobile app for both provsioning and latter on/off.

Also I didn't understand why my code is hanging in

ret_code = sd_softdevice_enable(&clock_lf_cfg, app_error_fault_handler);  which is at line number 214, file nrf_sdh.c.

Thanks,

Ashok. Y

 What error do you get? You have to check that in order to know whats wrong.

Check which error code you have and match it to the errors listed in the API description.
