Test Environment#

The overall test environment is shown in the figure below. The table below describes roles for development boards used to support different roles in the mesh network. The mobile phone is used as the provisioner in all cases while the application on the mobile phone is used to control the mesh networks for various test cases that are described in subsequent sections. Each of the reference boards is connected to a PC, which runs the Simplicity Studio development tool. Because in a real-world mesh network a lot of devices might be in radio range, ten devices were used to generate advertising packets and emulate the presence of additional devices in the mesh network.
