Hi Armin,

Do you mean Thread?  If so then this is a software layer that operates with an 802.15.4 radio.   BCM20737/20737S is a BLE radio so is not suitable for supporting Thread.

Regards

Dave

The BCM20732/BCM20736/BCM20737 (SiP and SoCs) are all certified for BT 4.1

QDID 61027 can be leveraged across the family for BT 4.1 (Component).

There are no BLE Mesh capabilities in production today on the BCM2073X platform, but we are working on a Mesh solution on our new SmartReady, BCM2070X platform that should be in production later this year.

I honestly have not heard of "Tread" support, so I am assuming we do not support this feature.

I think Thread is also intended for BLE 4.1 but I'm not 100% sure.

Hi mifo,

Does BCM20706 (CYW20706) support BLE Mesh function? Is there any demo apps can be found in the newest WICED Studio?

I saw the two include files ,wiced_bt_mesh_core.h and wiced_bt_mesh_provision.h , but I cannot find any apps using it.

So how can I write a ble mesh app on cyw20706 ?

Is there any official demo?

The CYW20719 will support BT Sig Mesh. Once released to the broad market, there will be an application within the SDK that demonstrates the Mesh functionality.  Work with your local Cypress sales to discuss early access to the product and the respective Early Adopter SDK.

Hi Armin,

Are you referring to the 20706 or the 20739 ?   These devices are planned to be released to the Community later this year and we will make more information available as the release dates become firm.

Regards

Dave

We will support Mesh in the broad market once it is ratified by the BT Sig as a standard.
