Does the Nordic nRF52840 board provide support for mbedOS 5.9.4?

As we are building our Mesh stack on the Nordic nRF52840 boards we realized that the fixes applied to mbedOS 5.9.4 would fix some of our problems. Does anyone have experience with this challenge?

Hi George,

We think you meant to ask, "Does Mbed OS 5.9.4 support the nRF52840" and the answer is yes. If you are migrating from Mbed v5.8.x or earlier then you will also be using a new Nordic SoftDevice as we moved to Nordic SDK v14.2. Please see the following page for a description of the changes that might impact you:

If you encounter any issues migrating to v5.9.4 please let us know either here or on GitHub:

We communicated with Nordic, the answer is no not yet on on their 52832 SoC which does not have native BT5Mesh implementation it is BLE 4.2 only. However we are proceeding with an nRF52840 implementation. Which sports the back level embed OS . we are using multiple Nordic nRF5 SDK 15.0.0 & nrf5 SDK for Mesh V 2.0.1 and the nRF52840 Dongles for development, and the multiple nRF52840 Preview development Kits, the 52 Thingys, and multiple nRF52832 Development Kits in the BT5 Mesh Network we have built-out. So we are using the previous mbedOS on the 832 SoC, on all of these, and we will update the firmware to the current mbedOS . Who has brought up mbedOS 5.9.4 on any of these device.?
