Raspberry pi as mesh provisioner

[Mickael Marty]

Hello,
I am trying to use a PI3 as a provisioner for a bluetooth mesh network.

From my understanding,if I use interactive PyACI,  I would need to plug a dev board to interact with my network. Is that assertion correct?

As I am in evaluation process, I have very few node available and I would like to use the built-in raspberrypi bluetooth on my network.

Therefore I could only use the meshctl utility.

But, I meet the following error:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:~/bluez-5.49$ meshctl
Waiting to connect to bluetoothd...Failed to parse local node configuration file local_node.json
pi@raspberrypi:~/bluez-5.49$

I started from a fresh raspbian image and did the following:
In order to enable the crypto configuration (see here: https://code4food.net/2017/11/25/enable ... -raspbian/), I recompiled the kernel following this tutorial : https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... uilding.md

I installed Bluez utility version 5.49 using

Code: Select all

cd PATH_TO_BLUEZ
./configure --enable-mesh --enable-debug
make
sudo make install

as well as Json-c

Code: Select all

git clone github.com/.../json-c.git
cd PATH_TO_JSON_C
sh autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

Any idea of what I'm doing wrong?

Best regards,

Mickael

We are trying to connect multiple devices to Raspberry Pi(Server),we have tested with BlueZ 5.50.Kernel version is 4.14.42.We are not able to ping to multiple devices..we could only ping to only once device. What should be done so that we can ping data to multiple devices?

We are trying to create a mesh with multiple devices and then connect it to our Raspberry Pi.Please guide us on doing the same
