If you are looking to work with mesh I would recommend switching over to our Bluetooth mesh solution, which will see continued development going forward (openmesh was more of a temporary solution while we were waiting for the Bluetooth mesh specification).

We don't have nRF52840 support yet, but it is in the works and will likely be a part of the next release.

Best regards

Hi Torbjorn, It is possible to program nRF52840? And could you explain how to removed MESH_DFU? I really want to test mesh funcionality :)

If the mesh is working you should be able to see the packets, assuming you haven't changed the BLE access address from the default.

I just programmed the BLE_Gateway example into the nRF52, and immediately saw the advertise packet in nRF Connect as shown here:

The example I used was this: \nRF5_SDK_12.0.0\examples\nrf51-ble-bcast-mesh\nRF51\examples\BLE_Gateway

I just chose the target for the nRF52832, and removed the MESH_DFU define since I didn't install the bootloader.

Best regards
Torbjørn
