I left the argument gcc in"py -3 import_libs.py gcc" , now I am able to compile properly , thanks

I'm not able to reproduce that error, but I only tested with Python3.7, not 3.8. Could you try that? Also make sure to move the SDK as close to the root of the hard drive as possible, as I have seen issues with too long paths in the past.

It looks like you have not cloned the openthread repository.

Follow these steps to build:

Start with a fresh copy of the SDK, and make sure you place it as close to the ROOT of the hard drive as possible.
Open a command line and go to [nRF5 SDK for Thread and Zigbee v4.1.0 ROOT]\external\openthread\project.

Enter the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/openthread/openthread.git
cd openthread
git checkout c6a258e3a5bd90aa26d8245c435c0ae5797027f4

Modify the UART pin config in [nRF5 SDK for Thread and Zigbee v4.1.0 ROOT]\external\openthread\project\openthread\examples\platforms\nrf528xx\nrf52840\transport-config.h per your requirements.
Go back to [nRF5 SDK for Thread and Zigbee v4.1.0 ROOT]\external\openthread\project and run "py -3 build_gcc_libs.py" from the command line.
When that is done, run "py -3 import_libs.py gcc" from the command line.

Hai , I too tried in version 3 , but in it there are lot for folders named 'NFR52840' and 'openthread'; I don't know

where to place .bat file ??

I copied a part of compiled output (I couldn't copy all ) and pasted below;

If supposed I am using new version , can't this ticket be used ??

What errors do you get? Note that if you use a different SDK version than what is mentioned in that thread (it gives instructions for nRF5 SDK for Thread and Zigbee v3.0.0), you need to checkout a different commit in the openthread directory before building. You can always find the correct commit hash in the file [SDK_ROOT]\external\openthread\project\readme.txt

I installed the 32 bit versions and still can't figure out exactly how to compile in GCC , I try to follow the ticket https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/46660/nrf5-sdk-for-thread-and-zigbee but still couldn't compile, Is there any tutorial available for GCC compiler for ARM ??

RE: CLI in pca10059

Jørgen Holmefjord — Wed, 06 May 2020 10:15:35 GMT

Ok, You could also use the second UART instance in the application to receive data from the controller, in case the controller does not need to have access to the full CLI. Let me know if you are not able to build the libraries and include any errors you are facing, etc.

After configuring mesh simple 8bit controller will be used to send data from each node to server

Yes, It is described in the documentation that I linked how to build on Windows.

[quote user="sivaguru "]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'm still not sure I understand why you need to rebuild the libraries. The CLI example for pca10059 works over USB CDC ACM, which is COM port over USB. Why do you need external UART? That would require some additional HW to communicate with the CLI.

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
