Does any softdevice support Mesh, per BLE5?

Mitch996

Hello, I'm pretty sure the new BLE 5 will come out soon and it will integrate the mesh. And if mesh needs to be done at a protocol level, it must be the softdevice.

So, any softdevice so far support mesh? Or at least, any plans?

I'm usre nrf52840 support BLE5.

    @Hung Bui I think I understand what you mean, but emotionally I find it very difficult to accept. So... basically we are looking at a Mesh protocol/stack that happens to share a lot of common traits with BT, instead of a BT protocol/stack that has Mesh as one of its features?

    What does this imply on the softdevices? Do I have to mount a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT softdevice if I want to use BLE Mesh, at the cost of a lot of BLE legacy features being unavailable? And by that I mean for example, there won't be S132M SD which is S123+Mesh, but rather, S500, which doesn't really share much with S110, or S140, or any previous SDs?
