nRF52833 Mesh SDK not finding hex files

[john_developer]

So I have an nRF52833 and I want to load the light_lightness_server_nrf52833 example from the Mesh SDK v4.1.0 on it and it's constantly stopping me giving me this error; 

boards.h: no such file or directory.  See image below to see where I am being stopped during the compiling.I have the nRFSDK 16 downloaded too and I have both the Mesh SDK and nrfSDK

in the same common folder as all the forums tell you to do. But yet I am

still getting this error. 

Can someone please enlighten me to what I'm missing and why I can't build this example to run it on my board?

Hi,

Have you made any modifications to the example? Have you changed the SDK_ROOT macro?

I suggest you download a fresh copy of the SDKs and try again.

Could you provide a screenshot of your folder structure?

[Mttrinh]

I see that you are using the nRF5 SDK v17.0.0. Mesh SDK v4.1.0 does not support this SDK version, you need to use nRF5 SDK v16.0.0.

You mentioned that you used nRF5 SDK v16.0.0 above but it is v17.0.0 in the picture so just need to clarify.

[john_developer]

No you're right I was totally wrong on that, I was trying to use v17.0.0. So get rid of 17 and download SDK v16.0 then try that in the same file structure?

[Mttrinh]

Yes :) 

[john_developer]

Here is my file structure and when I go into the Mesh SDK and try to run 

light_lightness_server_nrf52833_xxAA_s113_7_0_1

I get the same boards.h no directory found error.

[john_developer]

This is my SDK_ROOT

SDK_ROOT=<C:\nRF Mesh Project\nRF5_SDK_17.0.0_9d13099\components>

[Mttrinh]

Remove the <> brackets and \components from the path, then change "nRF5_SDK_17.0.0_9d13099" to your "nRF5_SDK_16.0.0_src"

[john_developer]

That worked! Thanks so much!

[Mttrinh]

No problem. Glad it worked out for you :D
