Hello,
I'm setting up a mesh network with low consumption sensors and I'm using the Low power node example. I'm having trouble increasing the number of devices supported by a friendly node. according to what was reported here on the nordic forum, the number of low power nodes per friendly node is limited by the amount of RAM and the CORE_TX_BEARER_COUNT_MAX definition.
I increased the MESH_FRIEND_FRIENDSHIP_COUNT setting to 100 (RAM space left) and increased the CORE_TX_BEARER_COUNT_MAX setting. After having increased the settings, I can start the mesh network however, when I'm going to provision I get the (Mesh assert at 0x0003385A) and using the debug points to an error in the mesh_gatt_packet_alloc (connection_index (p_connection)) function.
Development Setup:
development board nordic PCA10056 module nRF52840
nRF5 SDK 16.0.0
nRF5 SDK for Mesh 4.1.
I have some questions:
1) A) Is it possible to increase the number of nodes to 100 low power per friendly node? How do I fix this problem? What are the impacts on the mesh network when we change the CORE_TX_BEARER_COUNT_MAX definition?
2A) If option 1 is not really possible, could I start and end the friendship relationship to increase the number of devices?
I am aware that if I do this I will not be able to send data from the friendly node to the low power node, however, that would not be a problem for me because my project does not need simultaneous communications
I thank you for the support,
