Is it possible to run an OpenThread/LTE gateway on the Thingy:91? Is there any related example code available for this type of use case?

We have an OpenThread network composed of nRF52840 devices, but we would like to have ensure that Internet access is not interrupted by a power outage. I saw that there is an example BLE-LTE gateway for the nRF9160 in Zephyr, but does the equivalent exist for OpenThread on a Thingy:91?

Hi,

 

OpenThread support in ncs is in an early stage (work-in-progress), and at this time there is no bridge/two-chip solution where you can easily run the application on a host controller and the radio protocol on the nRF52840, unfortunately. It is possible to create a proprietary interface between the two nRFs, but this is something you will have to develop.

 

Kind regards,

Håkon

Aha, thank you for the information.
