Ble Mesh : will it be ported to linux

[Mahendra Tailor]

I just came across the following code ..

(hash)ifdef linux

toolchain_init_irqs();

(hash)endif

Does that imply there is a possibility that the source could be ported to a linux platform?

Given the Nordic Ble Mesh in the SDK is provided as source code, theoretically it is possible to run it on linux, and the softdevice calls can be emulated via a shim.

So one could end up with a Ble Mesh on a Linux machine that is functionaly identical to the one running on an nrf5x as long as the BLE hardware is 4.0 compliant.

Even the PB-GATT could be emulated by chaining on to the Bluez stack
