Bluetooth: Mesh Demo
|
|
####################
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
********
|
|
|
|
This sample is a Bluetooth mesh application intended for demonstration
|
|
purposes only. The application provisions and configures itself (i.e. no
|
|
external provisioner needed) with hard-coded network and application key
|
|
values. The local unicast address can be set using a NODE_ADDR build
|
|
variable (e.g. NODE_ADDR=0x0001 for unicast address 0x0001), or by
|
|
manually editing the value in the ``board.h`` file.
|
|
|
|
Because of the hard-coded values, the application is not suitable for
|
|
production use, but is quite convenient for quick demonstrations of mesh
|
|
functionality.
|
|
|
|
The application has some features especially designed for the BBC
|
|
micro:bit boards, such as the ability to send messages using the board's
|
|
buttons as well as showing information of received messages on the
|
|
board's 5x5 LED display. It's generally recommended to use unicast
|
|
addresses in the range of 0x0001-0x0009 for the micro:bit since these
|
|
map nicely to displayed addresses and the list of destination addresses
|
|
which can be cycled with a button press.
|
|
|
|
A special address, 0x000f, will make the application become a heart-beat
|
|
publisher and enable the other nodes to show information of the received
|
|
heartbeat messages.

Building and Running
|
|
********************
|
|
|
|
This sample can be found under :zephyr_file:`samples/bluetooth/mesh_demo` in
|
|
the Zephyr tree.
|
|
|
|
See :ref:`bluetooth samples section <bluetooth-samples>` for details on how
|
|
to run the sample inside QEMU.
|
|
|
|
For other boards, build and flash the application as follows:
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:zephyr-app: samples/bluetooth/mesh_demo
|
|
:board: <board>
|
|
:goals: flash
|
|
:compact:
|
|
|
|
Refer to your :ref:`board's documentation <boards>` for alternative
|
|
flash instructions if your board doesn't support the ``flash`` target.
