RE: nRF Mesh Client and Server combined

qmorrison — Mon, 28 Jan 2019 22:22:43 GMT

I get the disconnect shortly after the nRF Mesh app begins provisioning. It simply disconnects suddenly, and then sometimes reconnects. When it doesn't reconnect, I'm presented with an 'Initial Configuration Failed' error in nRF Mesh. I follow the steps presented to me, but then the node does not show up in a scan, so I am forced to wipe the board and re build in debug mode.

When I say "the moment I try to provision the other board to create a 3 node network, the first one disconnects from the network, or vice versa" I mean that once node 1 is successfully provisioned and configured, the moment I tap on node 2 from the list of connectable devices in the Scanner of nRF Mesh, node 1 disconnects. By vice versa, I mean that if node 2 is successfully provisioned and configured, the moment I tap on node 1 from the list of connectable devices in the Scanner of nRF Mesh, node 2 disconnects.

UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS FOR TODAY, 1/28:

Below is the log from one of the nodes when trying to provision from nRF Mesh. Strangely, nothing in the code has been changed since I opened the ticket, and just now the provisioning process stopped at 'Sending composition data get...'. This happened for both nodes, a total of two times each.

SUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS FOR TODAY, 1/28:

Even stranger is the fact that after those two attempts to provision failed, I ran the same exact code again, and the nodes were provisioned and configured successfully. Node 1 disconnected after the provisioning process began for node 2, but once node 2 was provisioned and configured, I was able to press button 1 and 2 to send RGB values from one node to the other, and doing so triggered the callbacks I wrote, which displayed the data. I even verified that they were actually being set in memory by pressing button 3, which I modified to send the current values of the model instance's red, gre, and blu values in the state. The logs for the successful attempts are below:

As for the logs from nRF Mesh, I'm not quite sure how to get those, but attached is a screenshot I took from one of the unsuccessful attempts:

Any idea why I receive different behavior for the exact same code on different attempts? I've successfully sent and received RGB values from both nodes, which have the exact same code, which has not changed since I opened the ticket. This is successful, but not consistent, and I'd like to get this consistently working every single time.

Hi,

There may be some clues in the logs from the devices, or in the logs from the Mesh app, so please consider attaching them.

When in the provisioning process do you get the disconnect?

In the cases when provisioning succeeds, are you able to configure the devices? (What is the configuration?)

When you write that "the moment [you] try to provision the other board to create a 3 node network, the first one disconnects from the network, or vice versa", what do you mean by that? Can you elaborate? Can you attach logs? As long as the devices are within range they should be able to communicate over the ADV bearer, regardless of whether they are connected to the phone or not.

Regards,
Terje
