Problem in evaluating Light switch example in Mesh SDK

Hello Terje,

After changing the SDK to 15.2.0 , I was able to get the light switch example working and was able to create a mesh network with 6 dev kits. I have several other questions on relaying but, will create a separate thread for that once I have tried out all the options.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I recommend that you use the latest version of nRF5 SDK for Mesh, which is currently v3.1.0.

I see that in the documentation under "Getting started" -> "Installing the toolchain" we list nRF5 SDK v15.2.0 as "recommended minimum version", but I would still recommend to stick to 15.2.0. The sections "Downloading nRF52 SDK" on the same page has some information on where to put it.

Regarding the example you should use only one provisioner, i.e. not both phone app and provisioner example. Using multiple provisioners is allowed by the Blutooth mesh specification, but how to share the provisioning database is implementation specific and we do not have any examples doing that. What we do have, is the remote provisioning example, which gives extended range to the provisioner by leveraging the mesh network for reaching the provisionee.

Can you check with nRF5 SDK for Mesh v3.1.0 and nRF5 SDK v15.2.0, if you still see the same issue?

Regards,
Terje

Hi Terje,

Yes, I am using the unmodified example. So are you suggesting that I go with SDK version 15.2.0. I am open to change the SDK at this point in the project but only if I'm not missing any functionality that is necessary.

Here is what I actually want to achieve.

* Dynamic (out of range provisioning of the mesh).

* Combining beaconing concept with dynamic provisioning

* Low power node (may be)

If this is all possible using the 15.2.0 and it is still supported by Nordic, I can switch. Please advice.

Thanks,

-Harsh

Hi,

Are you using the unmodified example?

Please note that the nRF5 SDK for Mesh v3.0.0 (and v3.1.0) are tested together with and compatible with nRF5 SDK v15.2.0. If you use nRF5 SDK v15.3.0 together with the nRF5 SDK for Mesh then you might see issues.

The particular assert indicates that there is something wrong with the Interrupt priority levels.

Terje
