Thread Network duplicating or not persisting Raspberry Pi Border Router

Mark

Hello,

I built a network of 3 parts.  Each has a PCA10059 nRF52840 dongle.

Raspberry Pi 3B+ Border Router using the image from 4.1 SDK.  This has the NCP

2X Full Thread devices made with the .hex image from the SDK.

The devices were commissioned/joined using the ThreadGroup Android App.


This network worked yesterday to the extent I could ping an ipv6 address on the web and get a response.  There was 1 thread network.

today I have power cycled the Raspberry Pi and also have restarted the 2 Devices.

in the OT Border Router gui I now see 2 Thread networks where there was 1 before and also the ping does not appear to work to the web.  One of the FTD has the state Leader and the other has the state Router.  This seems wrong because it seems the Border Router should be the leader?

I also have a Nest Connect Thread network running and I can see that in the Web gui but I don't think that is related because I saw this same behavior before I got that device.  This is a fresh installation where I am re-doing the steps because this problem happened before and I started from the beginning again.


What steps can I take to troubleshoot this?  How can I identify a network as being totally unique?  it isn't the name.

    using the nRF52840 dongle PCA10059 would I need to re-flash the firmware each time I load a new network configuration with form in the OT Border router interface?

    Does writing the pre-compiled .hex into the dongle also erase any network information and configurations that have been written to the dongle?  I cannot fully erase the dongle because of the bootloader.
