change phy in mesh

I'm working with the nRF52840 PDK and I'm wondering how to change the PHY (preferably to CODED) in a Mesh. Has that been implemented yet? Or when can we expect this feature?

  • Although this is not yet added to the standard or supported from Nordic, I think this possibility add many new use cases where Bluetooth Mesh can be used (industrial, smart city etc).

    Would be interesting yo know if anyone tried this out? We will for sure test it as soon as possible!

    Additional comment:

    We have a real smart city use case where we are going to test mesh. The idea is exactly as you say David, we intent to start with coverage test using non coded PHY but I would be good to have the long range option at hand if needed (and I see risk for it in this case).

    BTW, nice to meet with you again, David. Been a while since we worked on Automation IO ...!

  • I just tried changing the PHY in radio_mode configuration in the set_default_broadcast_configuration(broadcast_t * p_broadcast) function in advertiser.c, and in the scanner_config_reset(void) function in scanner.c as suggested in the light_switch example to RADIO_MODE_NRF_62K5BIT. I did not get the units to connect. Looking at the log messages I did not see that there was any conversation between the two units trying to provision. I changed back tho my original hex file and the two units worked just fine.
