Bluetooth Mesh coding in Segger embedded studio for nrf52832

[nanotron123]

Hi 

            I have started learning about Bluetooth mesh for a project to be done. i have some doubts regarding where to learn the coding and how to start coding for creating a mesh.Can anyone suggest me a link where i can learn the coding part of the mesh?

Hi. 

Have you already downloaded our nRF5 SDK for Mesh?

That would be a good place to start. 

Best regards,

Yes i have downloaded it... we have ordered an  nRF52 DK (nrf52832) ...

I have a few questions

i)Is nRF52 DK  right kit for learning bluetooth mesh programming?

ii)Can we use the kit for programming a individual nrf52832 chip?(instead of Segger J-Link debugger)

iii)if we can program, can u suggest me a layout diagram for the chip?

Hi. 

i)
Yes, the nRF52 DK would be a good kit to start developing on. 
In the SDK you are using, look for examples for the nRF52832 or PCA10040. These examples will work out of the box with the nRF52 DK. 
For example, in the nRF5 SDK for Mesh v3.2.0, you can test the light switch example:
You can find the source code of this example and its minor examples in the following folder: <InstallFolder>/examples/light_switch

ii)
Yes, the nRF52 DK has an OB-JLINK that you can use to program your custom board. 

iii)
I suggest that you take a look at the nRF52832 Product Specification - Reference Circuitry 

Best regards,
Joakim

No problem. 

Then I'll put this ticket on hold while I await your update.
