Hi again.

It's not possible on nRF52811, the chip has not enough resources. If you don't want to hardcode it you have to use a bigger chip.

The nRF52811 is designed to be an RCP device.

Best regards,

Andreas

Thank for reply,

I want to ask some question.

In SDK Thread v3.1, Can I convert all example from nrf52840 to nrf52811 and run normal ? All example ? Because I need convert thread mqttsn and coap.

I don't want to hardcode, The product does not allow that. So Can I tranfer information via bluetooth to nrf52811. Then, I disable bluetooth and run thread ?

Please tell me a answer.

Thank !!

Hi.

[quote user=""]Can I convert project from nrf52840 for nrf52811.[/quote]

Can you take a look at this user guide?

[quote user=""]This mean I can't put this chip join to thread network by application Openthread in Smarthome. It have to join thread network by itseft ? And I have to tranfer master key and panid for it ? [/quote]

The point of nRF52811 is that the low cost and low resources means that it's not suppose to be a joiner. You can't use the standard thread commissioning, to make it join a Thread network you have to hardcode in the credential (the binary you flash already has a panid, masterkey, channel, and so on set). It also does not support commissioner for the same reason.

Best regards,
