MeshClient minimum bluetooth version

[netdown]

Hi,

I would like to enquire information whether BLE (BT 4) is enough for using the MeshClient app or BT 5 is required.

Furthermore, can I communicate with the network in desktop Java or I must use the C++ examples?

Thank you in advance.

Please refer to the following user guide: https://cypresssemiconductorco.github.io/btsdk-docs/BT-SDK/WICED-MeshClient-And-ClientControlMesh-Us...

I have checked the guide already, but it does not tell the required BT hardware version. Neither it has any info about desktop Java support.

To clarify a bit more: can a BLE-only device (which only implements GATT bearer) act as a provisioner through a proxy node?

You can use a BLE-only device with version 4.2 or higher. 

As there are some lib files needed for the app, you need to use C++ for the development.
