Need information on any App support for my setup

[UmaMaheswar]

 I have Raspbery pi flashed with nordic alpha 4.1.0.1 image + nrf52840 dongle in NCP design .

As an end device I have EFR32 MG12 WSTK flashed with OT-CLI-FTD code and connected to the BorderRouter as a child.

I have one more extra nrf52840 dongle too.

With the above setup I need to use a app from mobile and communicate with devices in Thread network.

Is it possible to do any kind of demo with above requirement?

And need information on what all I can do with the two nrf52840 dongles, Raspberry pi and EFR32MG12 WSTK.

If usage of App with current isn't possible what is must to demo something with thread network

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Since the mobile phone does not have Thread capabilities, you need to do the communication over another network interface. You have two available options with your setup:

• Use our multiprotocol solution, to send data over BLE from the phone to the node in the Thread network, which can forward the data to other devices.
• Send the data from the phone over WiFi, through the border router and to the Thread end-node.

Sending data over WiFi depends a bit on the setup on both the phone and the border router. If both devices have global IPv6 connectivity, you can talk directly between the two devices without any translations. If you only have IPv4 connectivity, or the border router have too small address space to assign global IPv6 addresses to the end-node, the setup becomes more compex. Let me know more about what you are trying to achieve, and I will try to give you a more precise suggestion.

Best regards,
Jørgen

If I wanted to go for WiFi dependency, How do I check if the mobile phone and BorderRouter has IPv6 Connectivity and what setup do I actually need if I need to go with WIFI process? 

If I want to go for BLE, What do I actually need? and the setup that I have is enough for this example?

Everywhere in that examples they have shown support for only for the DK but not for Dongle. Does it have support for dongle too?

Among these which is the simplest method to perform? and can you please guide me to install that with my current setup i.e. BorderRouter[Raspberry Pi with Nordic Alpha image+Nrf52840 Dongle flashed with NCP] and EFR32MG12 flashed with ot-cli-ftd code and acting as a child device ??
