Hi!!

Following Pic shows where Command Line Tools and SDK is installed.

I found a solution on your Documentation. But looks incomplete. Can you please guide as to how to give PATH.

It asks for Variable Name and Variable Value.

Regards.

Sounds like you are trying to add a new environment variable. Instead, you should modify the "Path" variable in you r user variables.

To do so, select the "Path" variable from the list, and press "Edit". This should open a new window, where you can press "New" to add a new path to the Path variable.

After pressing "new", you can either type in the path to nrfjprog manually, or you can press the "Browse" button to open a GUI where you can navigate to the folder you want to add.

Hi Didrik,

Installing SDK and VSCode was not that simple. Each PC/Environment behaves differently.

Somehow it happened. How it happened even I am not able to figure it out. Took my colleagues help.

Flashed blinky example successfully.

However, following error message kept on cropping up.

"Bad CMake executable "C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\cmake.exe".

Another problem has occured.

nRFGo Studio is showing following error messgae. This was running well before.

Before nRF Connect SDK v2.0.0 was installed I was successfully erasing codes thru 'nRFgo Studio' and reflashing it with the following SDK 

1. nRF5_SDK_17.0.2_d674dde

2. nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v5.0.0_src

Do not know why is it asking for Command Line tools, which is already there.

Hope you have understood the problem.

Regards.

Hello Jogen, 

I’m taking over this case from Didrik as he will be on vacation for the next couple of weeks.  

Since many of my colleagues are out of office now due to summer vacation period in Norway, delayed answers are to be expected. My apologies for the inconvenience and I will come back to you as soon as possible. 

Regards, 

Markus

Hi Markus,

No worries. Take your time.

Let me share some background.

1. We have been working around nRF52840 to develop a full fledged commercial Lighting Application using Bluetooth Mesh.

2. We got stuck at the App Development stage. Tweaking nRFmesh app from the source code to build our own app became quite challenging. Maybe we did not have the right understanding or skilled manpower to do that.

3. All along we were working with following SDK environment for Bluetooth Mesh using nRF52840 DK.

    a. nRF5_SDK_17.0.2_d674dde

    b. nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v5.0.0_src

    c. nRFgostudio

4. Now from your website we understand that "nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v5.0.0_src" is under maintenance.

5. Also we understand that you have moved to a common development platform 'nRF Connect' for all wireless protocols including latest 'Matter'. 

6. Next logical question is whether we should continue with old environment for Bluetooth Mesh Development or should we move to nRFconnect SDK? Not sure if new SDK has all the lighting examples and models for testing.

7. In the old environment we were able to successfully test all Lighting Examples not only on your board but also on our hardware of LED Drivers and Lights. See the video below.(** tried to upload videos but they are quite heavy. request you to share your email ID so that I can share the same through Google Drive).

8. Is it possible from your side to get a team support beyond 'DevZone' environment to be able to achieve faster 'Time to Market'.

Regards.
