Using nRF5 SDK for non Nordic BLE PHY

[Pm7]

Hello,

I would like to know if I can use "NRF5 SDK" to provision bluetooth mesh device from other chipset provider ? Does licensing terms allow to use of SDK with 3rd party devices?

For example "nRF Mesh" android app(from play store) allows to provision to 3rd party bluetooh mesh devices although it does not allow to configure it(bind app key, configure models etc).

I would like to use Nordic's "nRF Mesh" SDK for developing android app that will provision and configure 3rd party device.

Thanks

Hi,

The nRF Mesh smartphone applications are not part of the SDK, and source code is available on Github (Android / iOS) under a BSD 3-Clause license, with no restrictions to what devices the application is connecting to and used with. That means you could use it to provision any Bluetooth mesh device.

The nRF5 SDK for Mesh, on the other hand, comes with license clauses that means you can only use it with a Nordic Semiconductor ASA integrated circuit. See the license text in the SDK for the full details on that one.
