"nRF5_SDK_for_Thread_and_Zigbee_v4.1.0" multiprotocol "ble_thread" OpenThread 'CLI' - How to replace UART console interface with BLE interface

[xiang san]

what I use project is "ble_thread_dyn_template" , Is there any way to replace the app's UART console with 'BLE' - i.e. instead of receiving 'ot' commands from UART console, make the OpenThread CLI app receive 'ot' commands from Bluetooth interface (e.g. from 'nRF Connect for Mobile') ?

 thanks

Hi

I see that you're referring to the nRF5 SDK for thread and Zigbee in the title of this case, but the GitHub you're linking to is part of the nRFConnect SDK (NCS). Please note that these are rather different, so could you please specify which SDK version you're working with so we are on the same page here?

If you just want to do a UART service over BLE I would suggest checking out the ble_app_uart example project we have. Is there a specific reason you want to use the OpenThread CLI over BLE? Will you be using Openthread at all in your application?

Best regards,

Simon

Yes, I want to use the OpenThread CLI over BLE, What I use SDK is really  nRF5 SDK for thread and Zigbee , My reference project  is "nRF5_SDK_for_Thread_and_Zigbee_v4.1.0\examples\multiprotocol\ble_thread\ble_thread_dyn_template", I  want to console  OpenThread CLI over BLE by modifying it , is there any way?  

    thanks

Hi

I think the easiest way to achieve this would be to use the Bluetooth backend for CLI instead. The Thread CLI example in the nRF5 SDK is built in OpenThread (linked in as a library), and it doesn't use the default CLI form the SDK, so changing it to support BLE will require quite a lot of work I think.

Best regards,
