Need some help with nRF52 Beacon Project

Hello everyone,

I am kind of a newbie but I really like tinkering with the Nordic DKs.

I have got two Nordic 52 DKs one nRF52832 DK and nRF52840 PDK.

I flashed the Eddystone beacon protocol on nRF52832 using the examples. Its working well. But there is no option for flashing of the same in nRF52840. Why is that? Is eddystone not up for BLE 5.0?

Now coming down to some assistance,

I am trying to use Fruitymesh to build a beacon based mesh network. I flashed the precompiled files but I am not able to get a UART. I have a Macbook Air and I tried using a screen but its blank through USB. I think UART is activated by default right on USB or we need to do something else? Also how we can access UART on Nordic Tool Box App while simultaneously running the eddystone and mesh network. Can I use this meshnetwork and my nRF52840 with OpenThread to connect these beacons to internet to dynamically change Eddystone URLs?

End Goal is to achieve something like CSRMesh Technology by Qualcomm for my beacons.
