Hi Johan,
Thank so the reply!
I got the point and I built *mesh* application basing on microbit_gatt.conf, but the compiling console told me that RAM is oversize, 104.03%.

Memory region Used Size Region Size %age Used
FLASH: 105156 B 256 KB 40.11%
SRAM: 17044 B 16 KB 104.03%
IDT_LIST: 120 B 2 KB 5.86

The compiler I used is gcc-arm-none-eabi-8-2018-q4-major.
The commit is 3aa8443ab41202f978258810961dbc5a74ad2727

By the way, could you please share that what compiler you used and the specific version?

It has several standard Mesh models, and supports provisioning over both the Advertising and the GATT Provisioning Bearers (i.e. PB-ADV and PB-GATT).

It doesn’t. It seems like a possible oversight with this configuration file. There’s a second one for this sample app called microbit_gatt.conf which does have PB_GATT=y. Note that the micro:bit with its 16k of RAM was always quite tricky when it came to fitting both the mesh and the provisioning protocols on it. That’s why we’ve done self-provisioning e.g. with samples/bluetooth/mesh_demo since it doesn’t require any provisioning bearer to be compiled in. I’d be curious to hear if you can still fit a Mesh + PB-GATT build onto the micro:bit, since I suspect Zephyr’s RAM footprint may have gone up slightly during the past year.
