OK , Thanks Inga, I will not use meshctl as of now based on this information. So currently there is no PB-GATT support in mesh-cfg client?
This is correct, but we are always looking for volunteers to implement GATT support. We eventually want to add Proxy Server support in the daemon, but we will probably never implement Proxy Client, because it does not have a practical purpose in a mesh system. Proxy is consdered a method to support advertising incapable legacy devices (like an older mobile phone) so providing a Server a legacy device can connect to is desirable, but a Client would be pointless except as a test tool.

Hello , Which tool I can use for Ble Mesh testing, meshctl or gatt-mesh or any other ? I followed few mails and came to know meshctl is not fit for use. Please advice. I want to test both PB-ADV and PB-GATT. Thanks in advance ! Regards, RpPlease use tools/mesh-cfgclient to test with PB-ADV. You can use it to provision and configure mesh nodes. There is also a python-based tool: test/test-mesh that implements on/off model and could be provisioned as a mesh node using mesh- cfgclient. As for PB-GATT, meshctl would be the tool for that, BUT it hasn't been updated in a long while, and I don't expect it to be functional. Regards, Inga
