Hi,

Unfortunately we do not have Friend and Low Power Node support yet, but we do have it scheduled for a future release.

If you do not want to (or cannot) wait for the Friend and Low Power Node support, you can use GATT bearer through the GATT proxy feature (which is supported in nRF5 SDK for Mesh v2.0.1.) See for instance David Edwin's replies in the thread Mesh proxy light switch client, current consumption with the Power Profile kit (PPK).

Please note that from nRF5 SDK for Mesh v2 onwards we no longer support the nRF51 series. That means no Proxy feature support, and also no coming Friend feature support. I highly recommend switching to the nRF52 series for your Bluetooth Mesh projects.

Regards,
Terje
