The ble mesh example - case AD_TYPE_PB_ADV?

[Mitch996]

Hello, I successfully ported one provisioner and one provisionee to 2 nrf52840 experiment boards respectively, now I'm having the provisionee connected to my computer and debugging it trying to see if the 1 node 2 pieces mini-network works.

I placed one breakpoint in case AD_TYPE_PB_ADV and one in case AD_TYPE_BEACON.

This is what I was thinking: if everything works fine, the program should hit AD_TYPE_PB_ADV sooner or later.

Now the thing is, it landed in case AD_TYPE_BEACON, but never went into AD_TYPE_PB_ADV.

So I'm here asking:

I suspect the provisionee wasn't provisioned by the provisioner at all - in other words, do you have to do something to trigger the provisioner?

Also I read it somewhere that the example requires the minimum amount of provisionees/nodes to be 4, but I can't seem to find it... for the time being.

I freely admit I read the program a while back and didn't understand it fully...

So, can anyone please let out a helping hand?

Yes, it seems that you MUST trigger a send, in the main() func, this part:

button_event_handler(button_number);

and the provisioner core shall be properly initialized first.
