Ok... well if this is specifically to play with Zephyr, you can build it to accept PB-ADV based provisioning as well. But i think Zephyrs mesh tip is PN-GATT by default.

Are you on the tip of both the BlueZ tree, and the ELL tree? Also, what linux distro are you using?

mesh-cfgclient not only provisions devices with PB-ADV, but it also is a full featured Config Client. It can send keys, bindings, subscriptions, and publications.
