Hi,
I'm following the Border Router Quick Start Guide. In it, it states:
To change the settings, edit the /etc/config/thread_border_router
file.
However, that file doesn't exist. Can someone point me to the new location of that file or how I modify the network configuration?
There are a few other things that are incorrect in that guide. Here's a list to help others, hopefully the main docs are updated with these corrections too.
- "nrfjprog --chiperase --family NRF52 --program <path_to_sdk>/examples/thread/experimental/ncp/hex/nrf52840_xxaa.hex" This path does not exist in the SDK. Instead, I used "examples\thread\ncp\usb\hex>". I then had to switch the power toggle to USB and connect the Raspberry Pi to the USB port on the nRF5280-DK
- Image in the doc shows the Raspberry Pi connected to the J2 connector. None of the NCP images I tried would work that way. I had to use the USB port, as mentioned above.
- "The default logging credentials are: id: "root" and empty password. Change the password to a non-empty value." - This login doesn't work, instead use the Raspbian default login of id: pi and password raspberry
- "nrfjprog --chiperase --family NRF52 --program <path_to_sdk>/examples/thread/experimental/cli/hex/nrf52840_xxaa.hex --reset". Again, this path doesn't exist. Instead I used "examples\thread\cli\uart\hex".
- "ping fd00:0064:0123:4567::0808:0808" didn't work for me. I had to use "ping 64:ff9b::0808:0808". I'm on a network without IPv6 support, so that could be why. If so, it would be good to mention it for those who aren't.
