Initalizing FDS in mesh sdk

Not doing anything other than adding a manager. I already found the documentation you sent me, it is useless in terms of how to use the configuration of the manager. It does not tell me whatsoever what values I can use for the area, how to make sure they are correct, etc. Basically I'm trying to point to a certain area, I get that the area is invalid inside the flash_manager_add function, and then the manager gets into FM_STATE_BUILDING and stays there, meaning that I cannot read nor write. The example that you pointed to also does not contain useful information, as I try to search for flash_manager_add inside that project, and it only points me towards files of the sdk I have already seen.

Hi.

[quote user="Ofek Orgad"]it is saying I am always in FM_STATE_BUILDING[/quote]

Could you elaborate on what you are doing when this occurs.

___________

The documentation for the flash manager can be found here:
Flash manager

We also use the flash manager in our examples in the SDK. You can take a look at the light switch example code on how it's used ther.

So I did a little research about the flash manager, and it seems like everything else uses it... I tried it myself but I keep getting stuck on reading due to invalid state, it is saying I am always in FM_STATE_BUILDING.

I would be really happy if you could give me some input on the usage of flash manager. The problem for me is that it lacks documentation or examples on how to use it. What do I put in the area field? How do I wait for it to finish the building state? What other things I have to know? It makes it really hard to use the flash manager.

Hey Joakim,

The main reason is that I lack the proper experience with persistent data storage and did not have any reference points, I googled some of the possible options to implement it and the simplest, most straightforward one was the fds example given within the sdk. If you could refer me to a better, more consistent / reliable option, that would be greatly appreciated!

Hi.

Before investigating your issue; Is there a reason that you don't want to use the Flash manager, if you are working with Mesh?
