NRF Thingy 91 related Bluetooth questions (Mesh, OpenThread)

After setting up my Peripheral Mode I am also looking at ways to improve my current design.

I would like to ask about Mesh support on the NRF Thingy 91 integrated with the Zephyr OS. The current stable 1.1.0 branch does not have any mesh example even for the PCA100xx boards.
After adding the Bluetooth HCI patch in the link above, are there any additional steps needed to get mesh functionality working?

Regarding OpenThread support for NRF52840 there is only support for the PCA10059 as per the documentation and codelab
1. Would I need to modify any files to get the examples working on the NRF52840_PCA20035
2. Will I need to recreate the hci_uart_with_usb_uart_bridge in OpenThread to make sure that the NRF91 and NRF52840 work in the same way?

Thank you,
Niket Naidu

  • Hi Niket,

    OpenThread is supported in the Zephyr directly, but we have not officially started support for it on nRF52 inside Nordic Connect SDK that uses Zephyr.  

    . Would I need to modify any files to get the examples working on the NRF52840_PCA20035

     I have read in zephyr forums that some of them are working with OpenThread inside Zephyr using nRF52DK (PCA10056) but I am not sure if anyone made it work on Thingy91 (PCA20035) yet.
