Can I use thread protocol using nRF Connect SDK v1.2.0 and if yes then is there any example codes are available or not?

Is it possible to use thread protocol using the nRF Connect SDK (zephyr RTOS)

  • Hi!

    Yes, NCS supports thread, see the Working with Thread article. There are three OpenThread samples, which you can find here. A CLI sample, CoAP Client sample and CoAP Server sample. The source code can be found here.

  • I came across nRF Thread and Zigbee SDK, 

    1) Which SDK is better for thread protocol Connect SDK or Thread SDK ?

    2) If I'll use Thread SDK then is it possible to use zephyr rtos with that?

    3) I want to implement border router and all other things related to Thread but examples are not available in Connect SDK for that.

     There are pros and cons with both. nRF Connect SDK is based on the ROTS Zephyr, so you get all the benefits of this. However, the Thread library in NCS is still under development so there are still few samples and not a lot of resources available to help you. The nRF5 Thread and Zigbee SDK has many more samples, so creating an application will be less work.

     No, I don't think so.

     Yes, exactly my point. There are more examples available in the nRF5 Thread SDK, while if you go with the NCS Thread Library you will have to write a lot of your application yourself.

  • 1) Is there any timeline that we can expect all the Thread resources available in Connect SDK?

    2) If I develop my application using Thread SDK then, is it easy to port that application in Connect SDK?

  • 1. For questions about the timeline I'll have to direct you to your Regional Sales Manager. Send me a PM with your location and I'll send you their contact info.

    2. The Stack/API for OpenThread is the same for both, so in that sense it should be easy to port. But in the nRF5 SDK there are a few examples and functions that aren't available in Zephyr / NCS.
