Thread demo with BMD-340 Rigado and FRDM-KW41Z NXP

[kA_nard]

Hi everyone,

right now I have two different kinds of Evaluation Kit: two FRDM-KW41Z from NXP with Thread Demo which can be found with this link:

two BMD-340 Evaluation Kit from Rigado, which I used the example with CLI, the refenrence can be found here: 

http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.nordic.infocenter.thread_zigbee.v2.0.0%2Fthread_cli_example.html

both FRDM-KW41Z and BMD-340 works normal with two demo but I want to try if it's possible to connect all of them together using Thread. What I found quite interesting is that BMD-340 can find FRDM shield 's address.

Thanks for reading and hope you guys can give me some suggestions.

Best regards,

Viet

Hi,

Thread is a protocol that support operability between devices and vendors. Did you test the devices together? Are you facing any specific issues?

Best regards,

Hi Jorgen,

I have tried some examples with nRF5 SDK for Thread and Zigbee. However I want to know if I can see the Ip address of other devices with OpenThread Command List? For example: server board can see the own IP and other IP on Terminal.

Best regards,

Viet

All routers in the network will keep a list/ table of other routers in the network at any time. You can view own list of a router/leader with CLI command router list/router table. Own children/end devices can be viewed using command child list/child table. Children of other devices can be polled using command networkdiagnostic.

Okay, I understood about the router and child table thing. In which c file in each project can I change the values about networkname? The default name is OpenThread I assumed. There is a guide , to change the networkname with "dataset networkname ****" However it didn't work with Teraterm. So I want to change it manually with the code.

You can use the function otThreadSetNetworkName() to set a network name in the application.
