Use Mesh USB kit as Normal Ble Device

Hello Dialog Team,

I bought the USB Mesh kit from Mouser. But as a beginner, I saw- it is difficult to directly go in to mesh so now I started doing the tutorials of DA14683/2 BLE - "https://support.dialog-semiconductor.com/connectivity/product/da14682-and-da14683?qt-product_restricted_=3#qt-product_restricted_". So I have a question that - USB Mesh kit will work as normal BLE DA14683 kit?

Because I burnt the Advertisement code without changing anything. It uploaded easily but the device is not showing on Mobile App. Why?

Waiting for your quick response

Hi parmanjosan,

Hi parmanjosan,

Once you have the QSPI Flash burnt with the mesh firmware, the device should start advertising. Could you please check if you follow the correct steps in order to burn the QSPI flash? Please check the below forum thread which might help you:

Dear Dialog Team,

Dear Dialog Team,

我认为有misunderstanding. Let me explain briefly -I bought "DA14683-00A9DEVKT-U" kit and I burnt the MSH SDK ("1.2" "DA14682/DA14683 Mesh SDK"), code - "ble_mesh" easily and it works. then I took "1.0.14.1081 DA1468x SDK1.0.14.1081" and code - "ble adv" It burnt easily on the same device but not working (No device is showing on my Android App). Then I took code - "freertos_retarget" from same sdk ("1.0.14.1081 DA1468x SDK1.0.14.1081") and it is also not working(Noting came in UART) .

Waiting for your quick response

Hi parmanjosan,

Hi parmanjosan,

Apologies but I misunderstood your issue. Could you please try to erase the QSPI Flash and then program it with the ble_adv firmware?

Thanks, PM_Dialog

Hi parmanjosan,

Hi parmanjosan,

Right click to the ble_adv project and then go to the “Properties”. Please check the attached photos in order to configure correctly the settings.

Workaround:

Change"${workspace_loc:/ble_stack/DA14683-00-Release}"to"../../../../../sdk/interfaces/ble_stack//DA14683-00-Release".

Since you have done these modifications, the errors should be disappeared. The warning will not be disappeared, but this will not be an issue and you can bypass it. Please make these changes and then try to build your project.

Thanks, PM_Dialog
