Android MeshLighting APP: switch cannot assign publish address

[HuBi_4816601]

Brief:

I have 2 CYW920735Q60EVB-01 boards. I want to test the ble mesh lighting demo, so I make the targets 'demo.mesh.light_dimmable-CYW920735Q60EVB_01' and 'demo.mesh.light_dimmer-CYW920735Q60EVB_01', then burn them respectively into the 2 boards. However when I use the Android APP MeshLighting, I find it cannot  'Assign pulblish address' for the switch. I could control the light(light dimmable) by the APP ,but couldn't control the light by the dimmer(SW3 buttong). Could someone tell me what I missed?

IDE:

WICED STUDIO 6.4

Very sorry for the late reply. I need some time to test and reply you later.

[Owen_Zhang123]

The WICED 6.4 SDK doesn't support to control the light with a client.

Please try the Modus 2.2 and BTSDK 2.8. They are the latest SDK for the mesh development. 空间: ModusToolbox Bluetooth SDK | Cypress Developer Community

Thanks for your response. I tried to use the ModusToolBox 2.2(Windows) to develop the Mesh. However when I created the project, it always blocked on the step "Processing file "D:/cyw20735Mesh/HAL_ADC/libs/20735B1.mtb"", just as the following figure shows. And 1 hour later, nothing changed.

I've tried several times. And the ModusToolBox always acted like that.

Is there something I missed? I will be appreciate that you could give me some clues.

Look forward to your reply.

Here is the log on the IDE:

Hi HuBi_4816601 ,

Are you using restricted a internet connection (e.g. Office network, extra firewall settings)?

Could you please try using a more relaxed internet connection to pull the repo. Seems like the connection to the remote repo has some issue.

Thanks,

-Dheeraj

[HuBi_4816601]

I use the internet to China Telecom directly. As you see from the log, I can easily clone https://github.com/cypresssemiconductorco/mtb-example-btsdk-hal-adc​ from github.com. I also try to use VPN which can connect to 'google.com' but the ModusToolBox also blocks like that. I want to know which web site  that I can not connect. Maybe I could try to connect it manually to test the internet connection.

[Owen_Zhang123]

You can download the manifest files from the github and re-direct the path of the manifest files to your local folder.

You can refer to the following KBA: Offloading the Manifest Files of ModusToolbox -... | Cypress Developer Community ​Please notice that the KBA is for BTSDK 2.4. The procedure for BTSDK 2.8 is similar with it.

We are working to move the manifest files from the github to China mainland to solve the problem. But it will need some time to finish it.

[HuBi_4816601]

I have tried the method-1 which is recommended from the discuss  Offloading the Manifest Files of ModusToolbox - KBA230953​ . But the problem still exists.

I used the mtb-super-manifest.xml which is referred from the discuss, but I cannot find my device(cyw920735).

Then I used the mtb-super-manifest-fv2.xml which is not referred from the discuss, it seems a little better but it blocks in another place. And the log is attached at last.

Is there something I missed?

About to the method-2 from the discuss, which is named "offline", exactly it's not completely offline. I still need to download the third party dependencies form the github.

Please try the attached files as follows:

1. Download the .zip files

2. Extract the file to your computer

3. open the file mtb-super-manifest-fv2.xml，change the location in the file to the folder in step 2. The location in the attached file is as follows: C:/Users/zhxh/Desktop/manifest/xxxxxxxx.xml

4. Add the parameter CyRemoteManifestOverride to the system environment parameter, refer to the following screen shoot.

  Variable: CyRemoteManifestOverride

  Value: <path_to_file>/mtb-super-manifest-fv2.xml

5. Open modustoolbox2.2，file->new->modustoolbox application, then you should download the demo normally.

[HuBi_4816601]

It's very kind of you! The projects are created successfully. Because I installed the ModusToolBox in a custom location, I also need to change a makefile variable to make the project(refer to "ModusToolbox 2.0 does not appear the same as videos, and also throws an error "). Next I'll try to test the Mesh DimmableLight and the Dimmer demos.

[HuBi_4816601]

The dimmable light mesh demo is tested OK. Thanks so much!
