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 !

Please 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
