Hello,

I see. The quick answer is no, you don't need a border router if you are only operating locally, and don't need access to the cloud. A thread network can operate just fine on it's own.

Thread is a bit new to us in customer support as well, but I think the CLI example should be quite suited for your need.

If you program 2 DKs with the CLI example, you can use them to communicate with one another. You can read about how to test this here.

Best regards,

Edvin

Thanks Edvin, appreciate your response. I will post the question of missing header fpop-up on Segger forum. I was able to communicate with CLI when I compiled the UART version and used Putty.

I have one more simple question. Sorry I am still learning about Thread,

Right now, my environment, is BLE. I have several Clients(Central) and one single server (Peripheral). My Clients are event driven data collectors and sleep 95% while my server is alway awake, adversing and ready to connect with clients. My server is also connected to a PC on a serial port. Which locally stores information.

I like to move this to a Thread environment. Can I do this with Two nRF52840 DK running Thread CLI (as in my above posts) with minor/none modification. They will both be connected to two PC's. Meaning without a border router, I do understand the concept of border router but is it absolutely necessary to have a border router in my environment as I am local and don't need to go to INTERNET. If this is not possible can you please suggest a simple Thread architecture, where it is possible, thx....jsayed

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply,

The Segger Embedded Studio (SES) command line doesn't work on my computer either. Exactly what the problem is I am not sure. I suspect it has to do with SES or the JLINK version. And I also get the popup windows in SES.

But what you can do is to program the example, and then use an external UART terminal like Putty (Remember to use the UART and not the USB version of the project) to write the CLI commands. Then it works fine on my computer.

Does that work for you?

Best regards,

Edvin
