can not update openthread version for my ot_cli

[Llama12580]

I am using ncs2.6.1. 

I built and run ot_cli based on ncs2.6.1, then I wanted to update openthread library so I modified openthread's revision on file nrf/west.yml

Then I updated west successfully.

After doing these, I built ot_cli again and burned the new firmware into my nrf52840dk board. But I found that the version of openthread didn't change.

So, what is the right way to update openthread library ?

Hi,

We do not recommend updating a repository independently of the other repositories. You might experience unexpected behavior and problems.

In the case of Thread, the nRF Connect SDK uses pre-built variants of the libraries by default. You can set your project to instead build the libraries from source with CONFIG_OPENTHREAD_SOURCES. For more information, see Select OpenThread libraries.

Please note that only the prebuilt libraries are certified. If you build the libraries from sources, you might not be able to use certification by inheritance. Additionally, using a different version of the OpenThread stack than what is used in the precompiled and certified library will also prevent you from using certification by inheritance.

Best regards,
Marte
