Overview

This sample allows testing the Thread protocol and the underlying IEEE 802.15.4 drivers for various boards using the OpenThread shell.

Building and Running

Verify that the board and chip you are targeting provide IEEE 802.15.4 support.

There are configuration files for different boards and setups in the shell directory:

• prj.conf Generic config file.

• overlay-ot-rcp-host-nxp.conf This overlay config enables support of OpenThread RCP host running on NXP chips over IMU interface.

Build shell application like this:

west build -b <board to use> samples/net/openthread/shell -- -DCONF_FILE=<config file to use>

Example building for Nordic’s nRF52840 DK.

west build -b nrf52840dk/nrf52840 samples/net/openthread/shell -- -DCONF_FILE="prj.conf"

Example building for NXP’s RW612 FRDM (RCP host).

west build -b frdm_rw612 samples/net/openthread/shell -- -DCONF_FILE="prj.conf overlay-ot-rcp-host-nxp.conf"

Sample console interaction
