nRF5 SDK for Mesh example with Segger Embedded Studio first time setup

[Tirth_S]

Hello,
Currently i am working on ble mesh and specifically on different nodes implementation, Proxy node, LPN node, Friend node.
But when i am starting to implement and testing ble mesh with different nodes, then i am stuck in basic setup of nrfmesh sdk with segger embedded studio,
also i trying to finding complete guide but the conversation is 5-6 years old and the attch link of technical documents are expired.

So, please give me complete guide of nrfblemesh with SES setup with basic example implementation like light_switch.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Edvin,

As per your advice i am implement different nodes in VS code and it's good to work in VS code.
Now i am trying to connect two different relay nodes to hopping the message several times, for that i am use ble_hrs (peripheral example) which send heart rate reading to relay node and relay node receives this data reading, now i am trying to hopping this data to another relay node,

I am try to pair two different relay nodes because of some reason it's trying to pair but not able to pair.
please suggest me what are the reason and guide me what i must care to pair two different relay nodes.

what i try:
1)relay node connect with relay node for that reason i connect mobile application and receives data on it, but end goal is receives data and hopping again to another device.

2) Then i connect central device code of ble_hrs_c and this code able to connect with relay node and as mobile application receives the data it also receives the data which relay node sending, but it's not able to send same reading to further device.

Note: I am using nrf52832 custom board
nrf5SDk 17.0.2
Segger Embedded studio V5.64

use ble_hrs (Point A) as starting point which sending heart rate reading data then use
ble_app_hrs_rscs_relay (Point B) it's receives data from point a and send it to 
ble_hrs_c (Point C) and it's not able to hopping and relay node i am not able to pair.

So, please guide me in this situation. (Specifically procedure to connect 2 different relay nodes)

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

The ble_hrs, ble_app_hrs_rscs_relay and ble_hrs_c are not Bluetooth Mesh samples. Wasn't your goal to use Bluetooth Mesh? Or did you move away from that?

Best regards,

Hello Edvin,
Goal is to create BLE SIG mesh and for that i apply relay node using ble_app_hrs_rscs_relay  example.
But facing issue which i mention above. 

currently i am trying create one network in that there are several number of relay nodes which hopping message and  the message transmission start point from one central node and at the end point there is another central node and in between this 2 central node there are relay nodes.

If there is some suggestion for this then suggest me, also guide me for issue which mention above.

So you are not aiming for a Bluetooth Mesh application, with proxy nodes, low power nodes and friend nodes, then. Right?

Please note that Bluetooth Low Energy is not the same as Bluetooth Mesh. 

If you want to create a custom network consisting of BLE devices, then you need to consider how large it will be, and how new nodes will attach. How many connections will each device have? You also need to decide how to forward messages, as this is not done automatically. You have to write an algorithm so that the messages are routed and arriving to the correct node. A network of BLE devices doesn't really know about any network structure. Each node will only care about the number of connections that is has. 

Best regards,
