RE: External commissioner with nRF52840 and RaspPi 3

Hi Mark,

You are doing really well. I think that the quickest way to move your work forward is building NCP hex for the nrf52840 from the openthread repository.

I think that following command would do:

make –f examples/Makefile-nrf52840 COMMISSIONER=1 JOINER=1 COAP=1 DNS_CLIENT=1 MTD_NETDIAG=1 BORDER_ROUTER=1 TMF_PROXY=1

That way you will miss the led functionality and accelerated commissioning.

A bit slower would be creating just the openthread library as explained here.

and then building the NCP with our SDK with use of that library.

As you mentioned our border router is missing external commissioning functionality now. It is on our schedule, but it is hard to talk about any ETA at this point.

Kind regards, Piotr Szkotak
