Hello,
I have gone through many devzone threads which suggest that Ble Mesh over coded PHY is not officially supported but, is possible. I am trying out the "Mesh" sample on two nRF52480 DK's by simply "self-provisioning" them. I have commented out the PB_ADV, PB_GATT and PROXY_NODE functionality and was successfully able to get the two nodes to talk to each other.
I have gone through a couple of threads from years ago which suggest changing few sections in the software but, they were all pointing to older versions of SDK for Mesh. Since I am working on the nRF Connect SDK which has a new software architecture and involves changing project configurations, I am finding it difficult to replicate the changes.
I have tried adding the following configuration to my proj.conf file
CONFIG_BT_PHY_UPDATE=y CONFIG_BT_EXT_ADV=y CONFIG_BT_HCI_MESH_EXT=y CONFIG_BT_CTLR_ADV_EXT=y CONFIG_BT_CTLR_PHY_CODED=y
My new advertising and scanning parameters are shown below
static struct bt_le_adv_param adv_param = { .id = BT_ID_DEFAULT, .interval_min = BT_GAP_ADV_FAST_INT_MIN_2, .interval_max = BT_GAP_ADV_FAST_INT_MAX_2, .options = BT_LE_ADV_OPT_USE_IDENTITY|BT_LE_ADV_OPT_EXT_ADV|BT_LE_ADV_OPT_CODED|BT_LE_ADV_OPT_CONNECTABLE, }; . . struct bt_le_scan_param scan_param = { .type = BT_LE_SCAN_TYPE_ACTIVE, .options = BT_LE_SCAN_OPT_CODED|BT_LE_SCAN_OPT_FILTER_DUPLICATE, .interval = BT_GAP_SCAN_FAST_INTERVAL, .window = BT_GAP_SCAN_FAST_WINDOW };
My nodes don't seem to be talking like they were before making these changes. I do see the the extended LE coded packets on my nRF connect app from these two nodes.
Is there anything I am missing? Please advice.
