Error: When Performing DFU Over Mesh Network (Failed to upgrade target. Error is: Failed to establish connection)

[msalmankhan334]

Hello Everyone I am working on DFU over Mesh and followed this guide https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.nordic.infocenter.meshsdk.v5.0.0%2Fmd_examples_dfu_README.html&anchor=dfu_example.

Performed these steps so far:

At last I am trying to send blinky application over DFU for this I have used this command:

nrfutil --verbose dfu serial -pkg dfu_test.zip -p COM5 -b 115200 -fc --mesh -i 100

When enter this command I get error Message:

Can please help me out why this is happening ?
If you need further information I can provide.

Command List and thier output is attached here with it.

Failed to upgrade target. Error is: Failed to establish connection

Possible causes:
- bootloader, SoftDevice or application on target does not match the requirements in the DFU package.
- baud rate or flow control is not the same as in the target bootloader.
- target is not in DFU mode. If using the SDK examples, press Button 4 and RESET and release both to enter DFU mode.
- if the error is ERROR_BUSY at the beginning of the DFU process,increase the value of PAGE_ERASE_TIME_MAX by few milliseconds.
Closing serial port...

Thanks

Hello,

Unfortunately we will have to get back to you on this, potentially after the holidays. Getting a response on DevZone might take longer than usual during this period.

Though as you're using nRF 5 SDK, I just wanted to mention that you should take a look at this.

Regards,

Elfving

I will wait for your response until then will continue research more on this. 
Happy Holidays!!!

I assume this is resolved now? RE: How do I calculate the Softdevice requriment parameter (--sd-req) parameter when genenrating DFU-Mesh 

[msalmankhan334]

Yes... but I will be doing more development on this, that's why I am not closing this case...
To continue more discussion on this thread..

[Elfving]

I see. Then let me know when you have any other questions :)

Regards,

Elfving
