Introduction

This program offers a way to do some simple mesh testing on custom hardware with no access to prints, LCD, or external inputs like buttons. This is a lightweight version of the soc-btmesh-switch sample application where files and instruction for serial printing, LCD printing and GPIO functionalities are taken out. Can be used for testing bt-mesh functionality without hardware dependencies.

The program offers the switch functionality issuing commands to turn the light On and Off every 2 seconds.

Implementation

• In Simplicity Studio, select your radio board, select the latest Bluetooth Mesh SDK and create soc-btmesh-empty example project for your device.

• Copy and replace the attached files (main.c and soc-bt-mesh-empty.isc) into your project.

• Open the recently copied soc-bt-mesh-empty.isc file and generate. Compile and flash to your radio board.

Testing

• Select another radio board with a WSTK as shown in the figure below. This device will act as the light node. Flash the soc-btmesh-light sample application from Simplicity Studio.

• Provision both devices and create a network.

• Make sure that the light nodes in the network subscribe to the address that the switch publishes to.

• You will observe the light node get commands to turn On and Off every 2 seconds.
