esp-idf: Ble_Mesh v1.1 - Unable to achieve Remote Provisioning (IDFGH-11398)

Answers checklist.

• I have read the documentation ESP-IDF Programming Guide and the issue is not addressed there.
• I have updated my IDF branch (master or release) to the latest version and checked that the issue is present there.
• I have searched the issue tracker for a similar issue and not found a similar issue.

What is the expected behavior?

I am flashing 3 ESP32 with examples projets from master branch:

• rpr_client,
• rpr_server,
• unprov_dev

I expect the Remote Provisoning process to correctly end with the unprovisioned node device being remotely provisioned by rpr_server and corresponding information being reported from rpr_server to rpr_client.

What is the actual behavior?

So far is correctly achieved:

• common provisioning (+ model binding) of the rpr_server by the rpr_client,
• button pressed on rpr_client => msg RPR_SCAN_GET is sent from rpr_client to rpr_server,
• rpr_server replies with a SCAN_STATUS msg,
• rpr_client sends then a SCAN_START msg,
• rpr_server replies with SCAN_STATUS, and a SCAN_REPORT msgs,
• rpr_client sends then a LINK_GET msg,
• rpr_server replies with a LINK_STATUS msg,
• rpr_client sends then a LINK_OPEN msg,
• rpr_server replies with a LINK_STATUS msg

From there, the rpr_server is expected to send a ESP_BLE_MESH_MODEL_OP_RPR_LINK_REPORT to rpr_client. and then rpr_client should report this message, then send to rpr_server the remote provisioning start process message. but this never happens.

logs from unprov_dev indicated that the provisioning link is open, then process is timed-out.

Steps to reproduce.

Executing the flow decribed in examples readme files.

More Information.

I also tried with ESP32-S3 from adafruit, result is identical.

It looks like ESP_BLE_MESH_MODEL_OP_RPR_LINK_REPORT is not sent to rpr_client. Or at least rpr_client does not callback any RPR_LINK_REPORT from rpr_server, and consequently /* Let remote provisioning server start provisioning */ err = esp_ble_mesh_rpr_client_action(ESP_BLE_MESH_RPR_CLIENT_ACT_START_RPR, &param); if (err) { ESP_LOGE(TAG, "Failed to perform Remote Provisioning Client action: Start Prov"); } is never executed.

I wonder also if it is not due to the bearer that is in use during remote provisioning process (PB-ADV,
