I previously downloaded nRF5_SDK_for_Thread_v0.8.0_fc4eda1.zip. I now downloaded nRF5_SDK_for_Thread_v0.9.0_10dc8d6.zip. Tested coap client and it works perfectly.

Thanks again for all your help Jørgen, I appreciate it!

Which version of the Thread SDK are you using? I see that the CoAP server/clients were first added to the OpenThread repository on April 11., so it is not available in nRF5 SDK for Thread v0.8.0. It should work with nRF5 SDK for Thread v0.9.0.

I get an 'Error 6'. On the server receiving node, when I enter from the CLI coap server start, I also get an 'Error 6'.

Which error does it give? Have you enabled the coap server on the receiving node using coap server, and set a URI string for the resource using coap server name before calling coap client?

Hi Jørgen,

Very helpful, thank you! I tested it and it works. I'm still getting around the API functions.

I've been wondering, if I want to send a message to a specific router address, will the CLI command coap client work with the API? I tested it but it seems to give me an error.

Hi Roger,

You can use the function otThreadSetRouterRoleEnabled() to disable or enable the router role in a Full Thread Device (FTD).

You can also enable or disable the router role using the CLI command routerrole.

Best regards,

Jørgen
