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,

Can we use nRF Dongle 52840 as the border router by connecting to the laptop instead of the Raspberry PI?

Hi!

Yes, this is possible, but it's not something we provide. 

The border router consists of both a Raspberry Pi and (in your case) an nRF52840 dongle (Thread Border Router). The firmware running on the Raspberry Pi is provided in the Thread SDK, pre-built and ready-to-use as a binary image.

It is possible to replace the Raspberry Pi with a driver on your computer to do the same thing, but you would have to write this yourself, and Nordic wouldn't provide support for it. 

Best regards,

Heidi

Hi,

I am using 2 nRF52840 DK for range testing using sample code available in SDK V16 (nRF5_SDK_16.0.0_98a08e2\examples\ble_central_and_peripheral\experimental\ble_app_att_mtu_throughput)

Tried to set Tx power to 8 dBm and code is running fine but how can I be sure that it is working on 8 dBm power, is there any API to check set Tx power?

Calling sd_ble_gap_tx_power_set() from here :

static void scan_start(void)
{
ret_code_t err_code;

NRF_LOG_INFO("Starting scanning.");

//Added by BR
err_code = sd_ble_gap_tx_power_set(BLE_GAP_TX_POWER_ROLE_SCAN_INIT ,BLE_CONN_HANDLE_INVALID, 8);
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

bsp_board_led_on(SCAN_ADV_LED);

err_code = nrf_ble_scan_start(&m_scan);
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
}

Hi, please make a new ticket for this inquiry.
