Including nRF5 SDK for Mesh functionality in an nRF5 SDK example

[Aftab]

Hello,

I'm integrating Nordic Mesh SDK into nRF5_SDK_15.2. I have following following guide for this:

https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.nordic.infocenter.meshsdk.v3.2.0%2Fmd_doc_getting_started_how_to_nordicSDK.html

After completing all the steps, the compiler shows following errors. I'm unable to locate the cause of error. It seems there are several constants related to
flash storage that are declared somewhere (or need to be declared). I'm not sure where they are declared or where to declare them. Can anybody please guide me?

Hi Aftab, 

Maybe it's easier that you use our ready made example in the Mesh SDK ? 

We provided co-exist example located in \Mesh_v3.2.0\examples\sdk_coexist . You can find the documentation here. 

[Aftab]

I have tested the "ble_app_uart_coexist" successfully. But I want to integrate mesh into our previously developed app based on nRF5_SDK_15. So basically I followed the above mentioned guide to add mesh into my app. However, having issues detailed above. I wonder what am I missing, may not mentioned in the said guide?

[Hung Bui]

In the log it says that there was some macro defines missing, for example FLASH_TIME_TO_ERASE_PAGE_US. It's defined in \mesh\core\include\hal.h

Please make sure you include the path to this file. 

[Aftab]

In the Project->Preprocessor->User include directories, I have include \mesh\core\include path as shown below. Why this error is popping up then? Please see the paths included for mesh.

Mesh/mesh/core/api
Mesh/mesh/core/include
Mesh/mesh/bearer/api

Please try compare your project to the working example. Could be that your path was not correct.
