Re: Development in Zephyr

Muhammad Muh <muhammad.muh83@...>
 

Hi, 


Thank you for your help. I have tried the commands given in the documentation and yours as well. My Python Version Python 2.7.15+. I am getting the following errors after executing the commands in Zephyr Example of NRF52840_PCA10059 Dongle.

FYI, I am just pasting the commands and the errors.


Command 1:

~/zephyrproject/zephyr/samples/basic/blinky$ west build -b nrf52840_pca10059 ..

Error 1:

ERROR: .. doesn't contain a CMakeLists.txt
FATAL ERROR: refusing to proceed without --force due to above error

Command 2:

$ nrfutil pkg generate --hw-version 52 --sd-req=0x00 \
>         --application build/zephyr/zephyr.hex \
>         --application-version 1 blinky.zip

Error:
 File "/home/muhammad/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/nordicsemi/dfu/package.py", line 403, in generate_package
    for key, firmware_data in self.firmwares_data.iteritems():
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'iteritems'

THE ABOVE COMMANDS ARE GIVING SAME ERRORS AS MENTIONED IN THE PREVIOUS EMAIL.

Command 3:

~/zephyrproject/zephyr/samples/basic/blinky/build$ nrfutil dfu usb-serial -pkg blinky.zip -p /dev/ttyACM0

Error:

Usage: nrfutil dfu usb-serial [OPTIONS]
Try "nrfutil dfu usb-serial --help" for help.


Waiting for your kind response.

Best Regards

Hi there,

 

Can you try this instead:

 

~/zephyrproject/zephyr$ west -v build -b nrf52840_pca10059 samples/basic/blinky

 

Then you can find the build output files in the build/ folder.

The syntax of the west build command is well documented both in the tool itself and in the documentation here:

https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/guides/west/build-flash-debug.html

 

Regards,

 

Carles

Dear Mr Aldrich,

 

Hope you will be fine and in best of health. I have gone through the links which you have referred me. I found them very very useful. Thank you for your kind support. Now i have purchased the NRF52840 Dongles. In reference to our previous discussion, it is requested to kindly help me through the examples of LED Blink and Mesh Demo. During LED Blink i am getting different sort of errors. Following are lines.

Thank you for your help. I will be grateful if you can help me out in these sample demo.

Mr. Aldrich thank you for your email. I am really thank full to you.

 

a) Regarding "Slack Channel" i did not know about this before. Now i will definitely join it.

b) In reference to "Bluetooth Section of the Documentation Guide" i did not go through all these links. I will follow these to get more know how. I will get back to you after studying these documents.

 

Thank you once again.

Hello Muhammad,

Welcome to the Zephyr Project! We're so happy to hear you are exploring ZephyrOS and Bluetooth Mesh. I'm happy to help you through the process of getting started with your first application. Have you joined the Slack channel? Its a great place to ask questions and get to know the community better. A number of our experts in Bluetooth Mesh are on daily. Everyone is always happy to help. 

 

My favorite place to get started is the Bluetooth section of the documentation guide. I have also personally found the Bluetooth Mesh Study Guide incredibly useful. Its produced by the Bluetooth SIG and is a great resource for getting a deeper understanding of the ins and outs of the technology. You may also find this presentations useful.  

 

If those guides do not answer your questions or if you already went through the guides and still have questions, please feel free to reach out to me at any time. I am always happy to help where I can.

 

Best,

Thea Aldrich

Hi.....I found this email address from Zephyr Projects. Basically i am totally new in the area of development. I want to start development using Zephyr. I have already installed Zephyr by following the instruction given in the website. Also, ran the hello world program. Now i want to take help from you people as how i should go on and  develop the application like given in your Zephyr SAMPLES. I am confused from where i start my programming. For example talking of Bluetooth Mesh Sample. You have one sample program. First of all how can i see the output of Mesh Demo Program. Moreover, from where i start to add on features and run with some hardware board as given in the list on zephyr website. I will be thank full if i can get help to start my programming in Zephyr.
