BLE Provisioner using Raspberry Pi.

[allaukik]

I am trying to use a Raspberry Pi as a provisioner for nRF52 development kits. I can run the meshctl utility on Pi but I am not able to see the un-provisioned beacons on the Pi. 

1. Has Pi been successfully used as a provisioner for nRF52 boards ? if yes, is there a working method.

2. How can I make sure that un-provisioned beacons are going out properly from my nRF52 to be detected by Pi and hence provisioned.

1) It should be possible to use a Raspberry Pi with interactive PyACI & Mesh SDK v2.0.0. I would recommend using an nrf52 dk as the provisioner, attach it to the Raspberry Pi & run Linux on the Pi via JLink & pyACI like described in this link. See this link for more info related to interactive PyACI.

2) Run the light switch client example on one board & the light switch provisioner example on the other board (ideally you want three boards for provisioner, client & server). You could also try running mesh sdk v1 if you only have two boards available.
