NCS: Setting MAC address to static for Mesh; UUID last bytes are zeroes

[mesh777]

1. Is it possible to set MAC address from random to static for Mesh in nRF Connect SDK? 

CONFIG_BT_PRIVACY=n and CONFIG_BT_SETTINGS=y seems does not change the behavior.

2. We have an issue with UUID, last bytes are zeroes in default configuration. Is it a bug or how to configure SDK to avoid this?

Hi,

This has been looked into by the team, and we have a patch. In a future SDK release, the UUID will no longer be hard coded to end in all zeroes, but rather generate a full 16 byte UUID from the device ID value.

For that future release, if you want to continue using the current behaviour (with UUIDs guaranteed to end in all zeroes,) you must then use the new CONFIG_BT_MESH_DK_LEGACY_UUID_GEN kconfig. The default will be the new UUID generation.

See https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf/pull/8747 for the patch.
