This section includes conceptual documentation about different modules included in the nRF5 SDK for Mesh. These easy-to-use modules were prepared with the goal of simplifying the development process of your Bluetooth mesh applications. Some of the module pages may also contain step-by-step procedures that allow you to configure them for use in your application.
The following documentation pages are available in this section:
- Proprietary mesh DFU protocol includes information about the DFU protocol in the Bluetooth mesh stack, with details about its characteristics, proprietary mesh DFU Firmware IDs, and the device page.
- Flash manager contains information about flash manager areas, handles, defragmentation, power failure protection, and flash area locations.
- Low Power node feature describes concepts related to the Friendship protocol, which enables power-constrained devices to be part of a Bluetooth mesh network.
- Mesh configuration describes the Bluetooth mesh submodule for simplifying persistent key-value storage, including details about information flow and the usage in the stack and in the application.
- Nordic Advertiser Extensions (Instaburst) contains information about a Nordic proprietary feature that is a drop-in replacement for the standard BLE Advertiser bearer for the mesh.
- Bluetooth mesh models is a section that includes documentation for Bluetooth mesh models available in the stack.
- PA/LNA module describes a PA/LNA module that can be used to increase the range of Bluetooth Low Energy communication.
- Power-down feature describes a proprietary functionality of the stack that can be used to turn off the stack in situations of expected power shortage.
- Provisioning describes in detail the provisioning process and bearers in the nRF5 SDK for Mesh.
- Serial interface is a section dedicated to the serial module, which provides full serialization of the Bluetooth mesh API, allowing other devices to control the nRF5 mesh network device through a UART interface.
