nRF Thread network UDP example

[daviddev]

Dear Nordic,

Is there any working example of starting comunication over the UDP protocol in thread network?

Hi,

Technically all the CoAP and MQTT-SN examples communicate over UDP, but they also includes higher layer application protocols. If you want to communicate purely over UDP packets, there is unfortunately no examples showing this. The CLI example is capable of sending UDP packets, maybe this is suitable for your needs?

See the CLI UDP reference on GitHub.

If you want a pure UDP example, this should be quite simple to implement. You can reference the code used in the CLI UDP module, and the OpenThread UDP API reference.

Best regards,
Jørgen

I have another issue.

What I have to pass to function "otUdpOpen" in aContext variable using C language?? I passed NULL but I get hard fault.

Below doc to this function

otUdpOpen	(	otInstance *	aInstance,
		otUdpSocket *	aSocket,
		otUdpReceive	aCallback,
		void *	aContext
	)

Open a UDP/IPv6 socket.

Parameters

[in]	aInstance	A pointer to an OpenThread instance.
[in]	aSocket	A pointer to a UDP socket structure.
[in]	aCallback	A pointer to the application callback function.
[in]	aContext	A pointer to application-specific context.
