https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/113922/matter-template-how-to-get-ftdHello, when I play around with the matter template example, I always get a thread child device. How to get a full thread device with routing etc?

Without these configurations, the build will fail.</p> <p>Best regards,<br />Marte</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/498430?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 15 Aug 2024 10:23:13 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:a81fbb22-a0bc-446a-90d9-71f054d89353Eduard Iten<p>Ah, thanks, I missed the second line and got compile error! Will try it next time in the lab and report back.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/498311?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 14 Aug 2024 14:06:10 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:e3eac3ae-2550-4dac-ac9c-95836767274bMarte Myrvold<p>Hi Edi,</p> <p>The default device type is set to Minimal Thread Device (MTD) in the Matter samples, as you can see in <a href="https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf/blob/v2.7.0/samples/matter/template/Kconfig#L15-L17">template/Kconfig#L15-L17</a>. MTDs can only be child devices.</p> <p>You can change the device type to Full Thread Device (FTD) by adding the following Kconfig options in prj.conf:</p> <p><code>CONFIG_OPENTHREAD_FTD=y</code><br /><code>CONFIG_OPENTHREAD_NORDIC_LIBRARY_FTD=y</code></p> <p>Best regards,<br />Marte</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
