NANO 33 BLE - upload with segger to use BLE MESH

Development Tools Uploading
1

Hi,

I bought some Arduino nano 33 BLE to try the new bluetooth mesh functionality nevertheless it seems it is not supported by Arduino BLE lib: Mesh · Issue #22 · arduino-libraries/ArduinoBLE · GitHub

It seems it rely on the Chip manufacturer SDK: nRF5 SDK for Mesh - nordicsemi.com

I thus think the only way to have BLE MESH working on the nano 33 series is to use Nordic toolchain and their SDK...

Here i m little stuck....I m not familiar with the "inside" of Arduino and not sure if I can just plug it with USB and follow their documentation https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/pdf/getting_started_ses.pdf or if the Arduino bootloader will prevent that ? In that case....how can I program with the Nordic toolchain to use their bluetooth mesh stack ?

Any help is welcome, Charles.

After some reading... I think I may need a J-Link programmer like J-Link EDU Mini Programmer - PGM-15345 - SparkFun Electronics to program the nRf directly.

I am hoping to be able to do the same thing with both the nordic sdk and openthread.io. I have ran a Nordic SDK example but made a stupid mistake and bricked my nano 33 BLE. I have just ordered a segger edu mini to see if I can repair it.

I forgot the memory assignment step here
