I want to run the LWM2M Client example but with Thread

[thread_yoda]

Hi, how can I build the lwm2m_client example with a thread overlay using the nRF Connect SDK? Thanks!

Hello, 

The lwm2m_client example - nRF9160: LwM2M Client - is designed to work with the nRF9160. Configuring the Thread, there are some required modules, i.e. IEEE 802.15.4 which the nRF9160 does not have.

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Hi Øyvind,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I knew that but I was hoping to get some guidance on that. I think maybe in your next SDK release you may have an example?

Hi thread_yoda,

I don't have an overview of what our next NCS release will have available, but this if often indicated in the latest/master branch. Based on that, the only Thread samples that we have are:

• Thread: CLI
• Thread: CoAP Client
• Thread: CoAP Server
• Thread: NCP

Kind regards,
Øyvind

When I installed NCS 1.3.1, I did not find those other Thread examples, only the NCP one. Is there some other place I should be looking? \samples\net\openthread. The current online doc references \samples\openthread, but I don't find that sub-directory path. Thanks.

These samples are found under nrf\samples\openthread (as they are in the nRF documentation), while Zephyr samples are under zephyr\samples\net\openthread\ncp.

Similarly, note the difference between nRF9160: LwM2M Client and LwM2M_client, found under nrf/samples/nrf9160 and zephyr/samples/net respectively.

yup, i get that. What I'm saying is that the NCS SDK documentation specifically references zephyr/samples/openthread instead of zephyr/samples/net/openthread so perhaps that was a bit confusing. But how do I get the master branch of NCS?

 Can you please provide the link to where in the documentation you found this?

 I recommend using NCS tag v1.3.2 which is latest stable release of NCS. 

In NCS v1.3.2 the following samples are available:

• Thread: CLI
• Thread: CoAP Client
• Thread: CoAP Server

While it looks like master branch includes Thread: NCP.
