Mesh SDK light switch example combining client and server

[shenghua]

Hi All:

We are using nRF52840 SDK with BLE Mesh sdk5.0 to develop bluetooth mesh and we can use light_sw_client to control the LED1 state on the light_sw_sever via BLE Mesh APP and   nRF52840_DK.

Now we hope to integrated the ight_sw_client and  light_sw_sever to implement bi-direction data transfer between two nRF52840_DK.

The integrated light_sw client and server can be compliled successfully,but executing the mesh_stack_init function has a error message( Mesh error 5 at 0x00027B49) from the function of "ERROR_CHECK(generic_onoff_client_init(&m_clients[i], i + 1))".

How to debug the issue? Thanks a lot.

model_config_file_init();

mesh_stack_init_params_t init_params =Post
{

app_model_init();

// ..... adding client models ....
__LOG(LOG_SRC_APP, LOG_LEVEL_INFO, "Initializing and adding client models\n");

for (uint32_t i = 0; i < CLIENT_MODEL_INSTANCE_COUNT; ++i)
{
m_clients[i].settings.p_callbacks = &client_cbs;
m_clients[i].settings.timeout = 0;
m_clients[i].settings.force_segmented = APP_FORCE_SEGMENTATION;
m_clients[i].settings.transmic_size = APP_MIC_SIZE;

ERROR_CHECK(generic_onoff_client_init(&m_clients[i], i + 1));
}

Hi,

Getting Mesh error 5 (NRF_ERROR_NOT_FOUND) from generic_onoff_client_init() function means invalid access element index. Can you check that the element index is correct?

[Mttrinh]

Hi,

Just to clarify, you want two client models on the same node?

I suspect that not enough elements have been added to the node so when you try to initiate the model in the inputted element index it will return invalid element index. Can you check that you also have added the correct amount of elements to the node?

Note that if you want multiple instances of the same model, these instances cannot be in the same element and a separate element is needed for each new instance of the same model.

Dear Mttrinh:

It is right.

we hope add two client models into sever model to implement a control model on the same node.

After adding enough elements to the node in the "nrf_mesh_conf_app.h", we can the "run mesh_init()" function successfully.

The "nrf_mesh_conf_app.h" was modified as the following.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

                            1 +  /* Scene Setup Server (extends Scene Server)   */ \
                            2   /* Generic OnOff client (2 groups) */)
#endif

Then we ran the "BLE Mesh APP" to add a node in the cell phone and found the elements of "Generic_on_off_client" had been add into the node as below.
