ios based sdk for bluetooth mesh

Hi,

We are planning to build a Mobile application for IoT involving Bluetooth communication. We came across a few part numbers of Nordic for this. We would like to know if an iOS SDK that supports Bluetooth Mesh Networking is available for the devices namely nRF51822 & nRF52832.

please confirm ASAP.

thanks in advance . Pavan

  • Hi,

    In our nRF5 SDK for Mesh we support SEGGER Embedded Studio. SEGGER Embedded Studio is a cross platform IDE supporting Windows, macOS and Linux. Both nRF51822 & nRF52832 is supported.

  • Hi pavan,

    In order to do mesh provisioning with the phone, you will need GATT bearer. Our GATT bearer is under development. Unfortunately it's not available in the current SDK. But we are working on it.

    If you need a app on the phone to control the mesh network, for prototyping, you can try to:

    • Integrate mesh into a normal BLE application such as ble_app_uart
    • Implement some logics to forward the BLE packet/command as a Mesh packet (turn off/on the light for example)
    • Use the nRFUART app in the Toolbox app on the phone to connect and send BLE commands.

    This solution won't be able to do provisioning though.
