nRF5 SDK for Mesh - Examples

[jparekh68]

Hi,

Is it possible to run nRF5 SDK for Mesh  examples on nRF Connect SDK for Bluetooth Mesh using nRF52840 Dev Board?

Examples are available on this github page.

Regards.

Hello,

It is not possible to run the applications from the nRF5 SDK in NCS, unfortunately. 

But we have a set of Mesh samples in NCS as well. You can find them under:

NCS\nrf\samples\bluetooth\mesh. Perhaps you find something similar there? Or is there one particular sample you are looking to run in NCS?

Best regards,

Edvin

Yes. I want to run 'Light CTL' example on nRF Connect SDK. Is it possible to port this example on nRF connect SDK. Kind of copy paste with necessary changes. Logic does not chage only dependencies change. Logically there has to be a way.

Even "Dimming" example.

I would say no to porting the samples.

I mean, it is possible, but it would be a lot more work than just using the NCS\nrf\samples\bluetooth\mesh\light_ctrl sample, which already has these features. 

Porting any sample from the nRF5 SDK would mean to take the main.c and try to port the API to NCS. But what you are left with is the Mesh stack, so you could say that it would be similar to ripping out everything and building it up from scratch. Every function would need to be re-written. 

Try out the light_ctrl sample from NCS, and see if that does what you need it to do. 

Best regards,
