Test procedure for any BLE mesh using PCA10059 nRF52840 USB dongle

Hi,

I want to use nRF52840 USB dongle in my setup with other PCA10056 boards. I have seen that in link https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/Products/nRF52840-Dongle it is mentioned that it can support bluetooth mesh. While I am browsing in devzone it is mentioned like "But unfortunately, the Mesh SDK does not support the nRF52840 Dongle(PCA10059) as of now". So how can I proceed to use nRF52840 USB dongle for bluetooth mesh?

Thanks,

Sridhar

  • Hi Sridhar,

    You can naturally use the mesh sdk on the 52840 dongle. You will just need to change the board header file to point to the pca10059 header file instead of the pca10056 board. You will most likely also need to change the led initialization to point to the dongle LEDs instead of the 52840 dev kit. Do you want to use the dongle as a client or server in the mesh network? I have the light swich server example that works perfectly for the server on the dongle if you are interested.

    Kind Regards,
