As specified in the Bluetooth Specification:

This specification shall be used with: • Core Specification Addendum 6 [3] combined with an allowed Bluetooth Core Specification (see [3] Volume 1, Part D, Section 1.2, Table 1.3), OR • Any version of the Bluetooth Core Specification later than v5.0.

Since the CY8CKIT-042-BLE has BLE version 4.2, I wouldn't expect it to be "up to spec", but you might be able to jury rig with one of these projects:

PSoC-4-BLE/100_Projects_in_100_Days/Day049_BLE_Mesh_Flood at master · cypresssemiconductorco/PSoC-4-...

PSoC-4-BLE/100_Projects_in_100_Days/Project052_BLE_Mesh_Directed at master · cypresssemiconductorco/...

To get a chip with the BLE v5.0 on it, you would need to buy a newer chip like the PSoC 6: Cypress Unveils PSoC 6, the Industry's Lowest Power, Most Flexible MCU Architecture, Setting a New S...
