Bluez Mesh Advertisement example required for NRF52840

[pratikj.panchal]

Hello,

I have a custom HOST board. There are use NRF52840 BLE chip.

I'm run Bluez 5.61 on the HOST board and by meshctl> I am able to run as a controller.

But if I want to make my HOST board as a Node and my BLE_HOST board will advertise for Mesh Provisioning. The node will provision using Nordic Mesh Android APP.

How can I do this demonstration on my HOST board using Bluez 5.61 SDK?

If not possible then which example is helpful from the Nordic SDK if need to do Porting from NRF SDK to Bluez ? Is it possible?

Kindly provide me best suggestions from your end.

Thank you.
Regards,
Pratik

Hey Pratik!

Your choice of SDK etc. would depend on what you are making, but in any case: porting can be quite a hassle. 

I think that the best option for you would be to either go for a mesh stack using our SDKs (if you are wondering what SDK to go for, take a look here), or a stack on BlueZ. And if you are happy with your host board as it is right now, I would suggest that you either use BlueZ for the rest as well, or implement the mesh node on the nRF, and create a separate protocol over UART for the node to communicate with the rest of the system. 

In any case, you would mainly have to do this yourself. But we are here for you if you have any specific questions. When it comes to this though, we sadly do not have examples available. 

Best regards,
