[quote userid="72071" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/121496/raspberry-pi-rcp-setup-fails"]Connected USB (J2) to the Pi for power, and connected the NRF USB (J3) to the Pi for the spinel uart interface.[/quote]

My mistake was in connecting J2 for power. This created two ports on the Pi, ttyACM0 and ttyACM1. It is not necessary. Just connect J3, the nrf USB port.

Hi Mary,

[quote user=""]To create the RCP, I created an application in VS Code based on nrf/samples/openthread/coprocessor. I added the 'usb' snippet in the build configuration. [/quote]

Do you mean SNIPPET="ci;usb"?

[quote user=""]I cannot form a network however. [/quote]

You can refer to the Thread Border Router documentation and run OTBR using Docker.
