I don't think the provision data will be deleted. But it could be an issue if you change the model table, etc.

Please be aware that the blinky example has nothing to do with Mesh, it's a very small code to blink the LED. It can't do a background DFU.

Is it possible to transfer the blinky example from DFU board to target board(light_switch). After updated with new firmware the node address will be previous provisioned address or it allocates new address after getting provision.

OK, So it worked with the blinky example.

If you want to update with light switch client, you would need to implement DFU feature on it. Please refer to the DFU example to find what you need to add. Basically you need nrf_mesh_dfu.c, nrf_mesh_dfu.h, adding mesh_evt_handler(), etc. Make sure you enable SERIAL DFU.

After you test to update the blinky firmware with the modified light switch you can think of updating light switch image, if you see error you may need to look into the fixes in this case:

Looks better. Please provide the screenshot of the nrfutil tool on PC.

You may need to follow this link to fix some bug on the nrfutil if you see the same problem (if testing with the blinky image, it should work)

You can find that the "No CMD handler " is gone compare to the last log you sent.

- Please try to test again without the signing keys.

- Please send your dfu project

- Please make sure UART is working between your computer and the board, you can test using an UART example.

I have used this bootloader mesh_bootloader_serial_armcc_nrf52840_xxAA.hex, I have tried with fresh copy of sdk, i'm facing same issue.

After DFU started it goes to this case BL_EVT_TYPE_TX_RADIO :

__LOG(LOG_SRC_DFU, LOG_LEVEL_INFO, "\tRADIO TX! SLOT %d, count %d, interval: %s, handle: %x\n",
p_evt->params.tx.radio.tx_slot,
p_evt->params.tx.radio.tx_count,
p_evt->params.tx.radio.interval_type == BL_RADIO_INTERVAL_TYPE_EXPONENTIAL ? "exponential" : "periodic",
p_evt->params.tx.radio.p_dfu_packet->packet_type
);

The "No CMD handler" log telling that there was a problem with the bootloader, it couldn't talk to the bootloader. Please double check if you have flash the bootloader before running the application. And that you see a bootloader in nRFConnect programming application (or nRFGo Studio)

I would suggest to try testing with a fresh copy of the SDK.

NRF_MESH_SERIAL_ENABLE is set to 1 and the com port is COM15 which the DFU Firmware runs. I have used without using key i faced same issue.

RTT log:

0>, main.c, 206, ----- Bluetooth Mesh DFU Example -----
<t: 12543>, serial_handler_prov.c, 267, Generating encryption keypair...

<t: 22148>, nrf_mesh_dfu.c, 904, ERROR: No CMD handler!
<t: 22154>, main.c, 253, DFU example started!

after i do all the steps it goes to BL_EVT_TYPE_TX_RADIO this case in DFU program.

Hi Satheesh,

I don't think you need to modify flash_placement.xml it was related to an old bug that should be solved now.

Please try testing without using any key. Just to simplify the testing.

Please make sure COM15 is the correct comport and in your code NRF_MESH_SERIAL_ENABLE is set to 1.

Please print out RTT log from the DFU firmware , and check if mesh_evt_handler() is called for any DFU event.
