nrf mesh Softdevice assert: 88996:0

Hello there,

we get the following assert:

"00> <t:     480881>, app_error_weak.c,   98, Softdevice assert: 88996:0"

The board is rebooting constantly after 3 ... 7 minutes of work. What could be that 88996?

What is in use:

- nrf sdk 17

- nrf mesh sdk 5

- sending mesh data to uart-usb

- have RTT viewer for logging

- there are few nodes in mesh (5 nodes, no heavy traffic there)

The thing is, when it works -- it works, then it enters this loopy and never gets out.

  • Hi, 

    It's pretty strange that changing the tx_power in mesh can cause a softdevice assert. 
    I tried to test the same but I couldn't reproduce the issue. If you test on light switch example do you see the same problem ?  


    Also I don't think changing the TX_POWER in scanner.c would have any effect. Could you please test with only modification in advertiser.c ? 

    In addition, could you verify that if you change the TX_POWER back to 0dbm the problem will disappear ?
