Hello, on my nRF52 board I am planning to have a Bluetooth mesh node running and then eventually (e.g. on button press) create a connection to a smartphone (nRF52 in Central, smartphone in Peripheral GAP role) simultaneously.
The intended sequence is like this
Start scanning and connect to the smartphone’s BLE advertisement
Read data from smartphone
Send data to neighbor mesh node for processing
Receive result from neighbor mesh node
Send result to smartphone
Terminate connection to smartphone.
I tried a lot and always run into some problem, e.g.
If I start the mesh with bt_mesh_init() and afterwards call bt_le_scan_start() then I get the -EALREADY error.
If instead I add me to the list of scan callbacks using bt_le_scan_cb_register() then I even see a crash (not further investigated why this happens).
If I first start scanning and then start the mesh, then I get a -EIO error when I call bt_conn_le_create().
So my question: is the scenario to run Bluetooth mesh and Central GAP role simultaneously supported by Bluetooth Low Energy standard?
If so, is such scenario also supported by the Zephyr Bluetooth stack?
