daisy-chain mesh for 6lowpan over ble using nRF52840https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/19735/daisy-chain-mesh-for-6lowpan-over-ble-using-nrf52840Hello, I really like the new nRF52840, especially it&#39;s Bluetooth 5 capabilities. The thing is that i cannot figure out if i would be able to make nRF52840 based devices to communicate (6lowpan over ble) one with each other without having a dedicateden-USTelligent Community 13Wed, 22 Feb 2017 07:29:16 GMTRE: daisy-chain mesh for 6lowpan over ble using nRF52840https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/76777?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 22 Feb 2017 07:29:16 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:4b105197-01fd-443d-a12c-c7459275ebbbPetter Myhre<p>I&#39;m not sure we have a fixed timeline for it. If you want information about future releases you should contact the regional sales manager for your area, if you don&#39;t know who it is, sent me a PM with your location and I&#39;ll let you know.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: daisy-chain mesh for 6lowpan over ble using nRF52840https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/76776?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 21 Feb 2017 16:05:59 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:79b7927c-3b66-4f50-b520-5508fefeef0dEvgeny Erlihman<p>I tried looking at the discussion you pointed me at, but i cant figure out the timelines for OpenMesh support for nRF52, if there are any.....</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: daisy-chain mesh for 6lowpan over ble using nRF52840https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/76775?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 16 Feb 2017 15:30:45 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:efa12e1a-09df-429e-86fc-6d3d68b9060ePetter Myhre<p>nRF OpenMesh doesn&#39;t current support the nRF52 Series, but it seems work is being done to get there.

This doesn&#39;t support nRF52840, only the nRF52832, but it shouldn&#39;t be too hard doing a port.</p> <p>In this SDK the IPSP and 6LoWPAN libraries only support node role. The IoT SoftDevice that is included supports Connection Oriented Channels with the Credit Based Flow Control Mode, which is needed for transport of IPv6 packets. It can take a GAP peripheral role.</p> <p>For router role you would need a SoftDevice that supports Connection Oriented Channels with the Credit Based Flow Control Mode and that can take a GAP central role, which we currently don&#39;t have. In addition the IPSP and 6LoWPAN libraries would need support for router role, which they don&#39;t.</p> <p>Are you sure that you need to IPv6 over BLE? Maybe something like <a href="https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/nRF51-ble-bcast-mesh">nRF OpenMesh</a> or <a href="https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/openthread">OpenThread</a> covers your use case?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
