+# Example mesh application for mbed OS
+
+This application is the simplest one to utilize our mesh networking stack. It just joins your device to the unsecure *6LoWPAN-ND* network.
+
+## Setup
+
+### Download the application
+
+```
+mbed import mbed-os-example-mesh-minimal
+cd mbed-os-example-mesh-minimal
+```
+
+### Change the channel settings (optional)
+
+See the file `mbed_app.json` for an example of defining an IEEE 802.15.4 channel to use.
+
+### Compile the application
+
+```
+mbed compile -m K64F -t GCC_ARM
+```
+
+A binary is generated at the end of the build process.
+
+### Connect the RF shield to the board
+
+By default, we are using the Atmel AT86RF233 and it can be purchased [here](https://firefly-iot.com/product/firefly-arduino-shield-2-4ghz/). Place the shield on top of your board and power it up.
+
+### Program the target
+
+Drag and drop the binary to the target to program the application.
+
+### Update the firmware of the border router
+
+You can read the instructions on updating the firmware of your K64F working as 6LoWPAN border router [here](https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os-example-client#mbed-gateway).
+
+Please do not forget to connect the Ethernet cable between the border router and your home/office router. Then power up the board.
+
+## Testing
+
+As soon as both the border router and the target are up and running you can verify the correct behaviour. Open a serial console and see the IP address obtained by the device.
+
+<span class="notes">**Note:** This application uses a baud rate of 115200.</span>
+
+```
+connected. IP = 2001:db8:a0b:12f0::1
+```
+
+You can use this IP address to `ping` from your PC and verify that the connection is working correctly.
+
+### Changing the radio driver (optional)
+
+To run a 6LoWPAN-ND network, you need a working RF driver for Nanostack. This example uses the Atmel AT86RF233 by default. 
+
+To change the RF driver:
+
+1. Uninstall the Atmel RF driver.
+
+        mbed remove atmel-rf-driver
+
+2. Install the new driver. (For example, for the FRDM-CR20A radio shield based on the MCR20A device.)
+
+        mbed add mcr20a-rf-driver
+
+3. Recompile your application.
+
+        mbed compile -m K64F -t GCC_ARM
+
