Commissioner stuck in petitioning when started by API call

After having a discussion with OpenThread git forum (thanks Jonathan ***), I managed to solve the issue. OT API are not thread safe. So the issue was I invoked the otCommissionerStart () function from within a separate thread. The solution was to register a call back to the openthread_set_state_changed_cb() and let that call back invoke the otCommissionerStart ().

I just noted it here in case someone else falls into the same pit.

Cheers,

Hi Charlie,

Thanks, I have to following in my prj.conf

CONFIG_OPENTHREAD_FTD=y

CONFIG_OPENTHREAD_COMMISSIONER=y

This is how I got the commissioner cli command got enabled. I cant see anything like OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_COMMISSIONER_ENABLE in my .config. I presume the CONFIG_OPENTHREAD_COMMISSIONER is same.

Also I can use CLI to get the commissioner role to active without any problem, only API control has this issue.

Cheers,

Kaushalya

Hi Kaushalya,

The `commissioner` commands are available only when * `OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_COMMISSIONER_ENABLE` and `OPENTHREAD_FTD` are set.

Could you check if they are enabled?

Best regards,

Charlie
