boards.h: No such file or directory

[Mr Sunshine]

Currently I want to build the light_switch examples from the nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v2.2.0  on my nrf52832 dev board but this gives the following error "boards.h: No such file or directory". I have placed the nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a in the same folder as the nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v2.2.0, but I still keep the same issue.

I have searched this issue on similar tickets but the links that some of them provided bring me to a missing page.

I also tried to work with the nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v3.2.0  with the appropriate nRF5_SDK_15.3.0_59ac345 but this also gives the same issue.

What am I missing?

Hi,

First of all, for a new project, please use the latest release of nRF5 SDK for Mesh, which is currently v4.0.0.

Make sure that the version of the nRF5 SDK corresponds to the version needed by the particular version of nRF5 SDK for Mesh. For nRF5 SDK for Mesh v4.0.0, you need nRF5 SDK v16.0.0.

The folder structure should then be such:

• <common folder>
  • nRF5_SDK_16.0.0_98a08e2
    • components
    • config
    • documentation
    • examples
    • ...
  • nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v4.0.0_src
    • bin
    • CMake
    • doc
    • examples
    • ...

Make sure that there ar not "two levels" of the SDK folder name. That may happen depending on how you unzip the SDK zip files.

If you find any missing links, please let us know so that we can correct them.

I used V2.2 for the light_switch proxy_client and proxy_server examples which aren't in the later versions.

My goal is to develop a mesh network with multiple nodes that van be controlled by a custom mobile app.

Hi,

In later versions of nRF5 SDK for Mesh, the GATT proxy feature can be turned on or off by setting MESH_FEATURE_GATT_PROXY_ENABLED  to 1. You also need to include the gatt proxy header files, and add the gatt proxy c files to the project. This is already done in most of the examples, so that setting the MESH_FEATURE_GATT_PROXY_ENABLED define is the only thing you need to do. See also GATT configuration defines.

The problem is solved, thank you.

hello tesc,

I got an unrelated question but how can I add the gatt proxy c files to the project. I see that the setting MESH_FEATURE_GATT_PROXY_ENABLED in the light_switch examples is unrecognized.
