Hello All,
Can i use nRF52810 SOC for mesh networking. is there any space constraints?.. if we can use can we control all the nodes via smartphone .
please provide more details on usage of mesh on nRF52810 chip?
thanks in advance Pktron

Hi,
Please refer to the BLE Mesh SDK Documentation. Currently:
The mesh stack is also compatible with the nRF52810 platform, but not supported by the current build system.
For future reference though, our BLE Mesh solution requires that you use a Softdevice as well as the BLE Mesh stack. How much flash and RAM is required by the Softdevice is documented in each Softdevice's Specification. The Specification for the current Softdevice version for the nRF52810 can be found here: Memory resource requirements
Here you can see the flash and RAM requirements for the BLE Mesh stack: Resource Usage. These requirements comes on top of what is required by the Softdevice.
Currently, phones cannot be an integrated part of the mesh itself, but you can run "regular BLE" on your nodes and use them as gateways into the mesh network.
Here is a pretty informative blog about BLE Mesh in general: An Intro to Bluetooth Mesh.
Hey Martin,
It already has been a while, and mesh networking is still not available for nrf52810 whilst it was promised by the release page of Nordic. Do you have any dates when this will be available? Because I have now three fanstel nrf52810 development kits that I cannot use due to the lack of support at the moment. Is there maybe an unofficial Softdevice that I can use for the moment?
Sincerely,
Jim van der Heiden

Hi,
That promise was probably a miscommunication within Nordic and unfortunately support for nRF52810 is not on our roadmap. If this is a feature you care strongly about, you can consider contacting our regional sales manager in your area and express your concerns. If you don't know who that is you can send me a PM and I can give you the details.
Okay thank you, I will switch to the nRF52832 for this functionality then.
