Thread Border Router unable to wpanctl status

[rodruizronald]

Hi,


I am following the Thread Border Router example provided in the info center. I have one Raspberry Pi 3 v1.2 connected to the internet via WiFi, one nrf52840-DK programmed as an NCP, and other as CLI. To test everything, I used the CLI to ping Google, and I got the expected response. So no errors, good!  My problem is that running wpanctl commands on the border router return errors. For instance:

$ sudo wpanctl status

return the following errors,

error: The name com.nestlabs.WPANTunnelDriver was not provided by any .service files
wpanctl: error: 'wpantund' is either not running, locked up, or incompatible with this version of 'wpanctl'

I want to use wpanctl to for managing the NCP, but it does not work. If you could help to figure out why it is not working, I would appreciate.

Border Router Version: 3.0.0-1.alpha

Thank you!

Hi.

Please answer the following questions :-)

1. Are you sure that you have connected the NCP correctly?

2. Are you starting immediately after boot with sudo wpanctl status, or are you waiting for some time? You should wait for about 2 minutes until you try sudo wpanctl status.

3. Have you flashed the Border Router firmware correctly?

Best regards,

Andreas

Hi Andreas,


I found the error. I was executing the "sudo wpanctl status" with the NCP disconnected, and when it was connected, it did not wait for more than 2 minutes.

Thank you!
