Does anyone have trouble provisioning w/ Mesh 4 release

[Min]

Greetings...

Provisioning w/ Android tool only works when board is connected to debugger.

Provisioning failed to even find the devices when scanning after disconnected from SES.

Any tricks? Thanks!

Hi,

Can you give me more details? What doesn't work when you are not connected tot the debugger? Are you using a custom board? Which example are you testing with?

Provisioning failed to even find the devices when scanning after disconnected from SES.

What do you mean by this?

After you downloaded the firmware to your board, did you provision the the board through nRF Mesh app?

Yes, Mttrinh. I always use nRF Mesh app to for provisioning my devices. Always works with earlier Mesh releases.

Im a little bit confused. So you have flashed over the firmware, use nRF Mesh to provision the board. After you have provision the board, you power cycle the board then try to search for the board again via nRF Mesh? Correct me if im wrong.

Hi Mttrinh,

Thanks for the response. Sorry I may have confused you. 

The provisioning never happened since nRF Mesh app failed to find the board.

This never happened with old Mesh releases.

Hope this clears.

Ok, could you clarify what you mean by this:

"Provisioning w/ Android tool only works when board is connected to debugger."

Okay, if you leave board connected w/ SES debugger, and don't power cycle after downloading, then run the firmware inside the debugger, then nRF Mesh app will find the board properly and thus you can provision the board fine.

Hence the statement:

Provisioning w/ Android tool only works when board is connected to debugger.

Hope this clears...

Thanx!
