Hi,

Why do you want to use UART with the dongle, and not use the USB interface? Are you planning to connect the UART pins externally to a host device?

In order to change the UART pins, you need to rebuild the OpenThread libraries. The UART configs are found in the file transport-config.h (for nRF5 SDK for Thread and Zigbee v4.1.0).

Remember to checkout the correct OpenThreas commit that the SDK was generated with, after cloning the GitHub project, as you may run into build errors with the master branch. The commit number is indicated in external\openthread\project\readme.txt.

For instructions on installing GCC on windows, please refer to the Installing GCC on Windows section in the Getting Started with Thread and Zigbee documentation.

Best regards,
Jørgen

Hai Jorgen 

                 Thank you for your reply and you are correct , I am developing mesh to transmit data from 20 different nodes to  server, initially I thought of using BLE but after going through different tutorials I prefer to use thread instead of BLE. I have been provided with single pca10056 and remaining pca10059 (low cost). I am a beginner and I need to start from scratches
