Mesh Flash Manager coexist with Flash Data Storage

[Jay]

My Project involves adding BLUETOOTH mesh to a current product.

In that product we use the Flash Data storage library to read and write flash. The SDK for mesh documentation says to use the mesh flash manager.

Since the FDS uses the softdevice for writing and reading the flash, do I need to change to the flash manager?

I would rather not change something that works, if I do not have to!!

Hi Jay, 

 

The fds uses fstorage and fstorage uses softdevice for writing and reading flash. 

fds can't use flash manager by now. 

We haven't run the full test though, but you can have both fds and flash manager working at the same time. You just need to configure the flash area so that they don't overlapp each other. Have a look here. We have some example combining mesh + BLE in the SDK v2.1.1 that you can follow.

Hung,  Is the data stored in internal flash for mesh encrypted?  Or is any of it encrypted?

I'm talking about the data explained in your link above at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NordicSemiconductor/nRF5-SDK-for-Mesh/b7384b5a500da2357591679f95d53ca175fe1c80/doc/getting_started/how_to_nordicSDK.md

Hi please create a new case for your question. 

The data stored is not encrypted. So it's better to disable the debug interface when you release your device to the market.
