BLE SIG mesh

[Pavankumar K]

Hi,

We need a BLE chip which can be used as a radio which supports BLE SIG mesh and work on standard HCI commands.

Kindly suggest the right device.

Thanks & Regards,

The nRF52 chips support BLE SIG Mesh at the radio level.

For HCI, see:

If you wanted to stick with the Nordic SDK, you could consider Serialisation:

We need only BLE without MCU.. kindly advise..

All Nordic's BLE devices are SoC - ie, MCU + Radio.

So, if that's not what you want, then you need to look elsewhere.

But, again, Serialisation allows you to use the SoC as little more than a "dumb" radio - with the "Host" doing most of the work.
