OpenThread CLI Sample - Both Boards Show Leader (i.e. are not communicating)

Hi,

I am using NCS 3.2.1 and nRF52840-DK's version 3.0.3.

I flashed 2 boards with the openthread/cli sample.

From the CLI on both boards, I issued the following commands:

ot factoryreset

ot dataset init new

ot dataset channel 26

ot dataset panid 0xabcd

ot dataset networkkey 00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff

ot dataset commit active

ot ifconfig up

ot thread start

After 10 seconds, I issued the command:

ot state

Both boards showed "Leader".  i.e. they were not communicating.

This was the culmination of trying to get to work:

  • simple 802.15.4 comms
  • Nordic ESB comms
  • basic Thread comms

None of which worked.  This final attempt was to check if the samples provided by Nordic actually work and they didn't.

Any help would be much appreciated.
