SDK 15 BLE and 802.15.4 multiprotocol example

Hi. I am trying to develop an multiprotocol test example using SDK 15 and nRF-IEEE-802.15.4-radio-driver on NRF52840 dk board. I need that BLE and 802.15.4 stuff can work together. For 802.15.4 I am using driver from here github.com/.../nRF-IEEE-802.15.4-radio-driver.
My problem is that I can't send/receive data using 802.15.4 although BLE works fine. I guess my problem can be in configuration of SDK.
Are there any examples which shows how to use BLE and 802.15.4 based on nRF-IEEE-802.15.4-radio-driver in parallel?

  • Hi,

    What are you planning on building on top of the 802.15.4 ?

    The nRF-IEEE-802.15.4-radio-driver is integrated in OpenThread. In our Thread SDK(builds on OpenThread) we have examples that does concurrent multiprotocol between Thread and BLE. The Thread standard is a stack built on top of the IEEE 802.15.4 PHY and MAC. The Thread stack have built-in features for: IP routing, 6LoWPAN, security and commissioning.

  • It is planned to build IoT network based on IPV6. Protocol which is used for communication between device in network is built over IPV6 and it is private. The project has already tons of legacy code so I can't throw out existent code base and then just take your Thread SDK and migrate to it. The project
    previously used SDK 12 with S132 softdevice , now I have migrated to SDK 15 with S140 softdevice.  I have checked Thread SDK, there are no examples there which use function calls from IEEE 802.15.4 radio driver ( like nrf_802154_transmit() ).
    So I would be grateful for multiprotocol BLE + 802.15.4 examples based on SDK15 and IEEE 802.15.4 radio driver.
