Feasibility of Running Thread NCP concurrently with other Thread Functions

Hi Rob,

I am also trying a similar approach. Has this approach worked for you?

I am using a single instance as suggested, but can't find coap packet traces in my coap server which is on RPi.

Is there a way by which I can see NCP logs (RTT logs) on RPi so that I can narrow down the error ?

I haven't pursued this path yet, but don't want to leave the ticket hanging. Marking answer as verified.

Thanks Piotr,

It is very helpful just to know I'm heading down a reasonable path. I'll give it a try using a single instance and let you know how it goes. It will probably be towards the end of this week before I get back to this.

Best,
Rob

Hi Rob,

This is an interesting approach, but I would not expect many difficulties in the implementation.

In my opinion there is no need to create additional OT instance, let's use the one we already have.

I would just initialize CoAP and see how it's going - I expect that it would work just fine.

As a reference please check the simple coap client/server.

Especially thread_coap_utils_init() function and the thread_coap_utils.c in general show OpenThread calls that need to be performed.

Please let us know if you will have any issues so we could help you more if needed.

Kind regards,

Piotr Szkotak

Hi Rob,

I forwarded your question to our Thread developers. Unfortunately, there is nobody available to answer this until next week due to vacation and low staffing.

Will get back to you as soon as I have an answer for you.

Best regards,
Jørgen
