Usage of CLI from BorderRouter to communicate to end device

UmaMaheswar

we have BorderRouter- Raspberry 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.

we have one more extra nrf52840 dongle too.

Want to communicate to EFR32 device from BorderRouter, EFR32 has a CLI and can be able to send some commands to BorderRouter and when it comes to BorderRouter end, got to know that the BorderRouter code from Nordic doesn't provide CLI.

If CLI image [<install folder>\nRF5_SDK_for_Thread_and_Zigbee_v4.1.0_32ce5f8.zip\examples\thread\cli\ftd\usb\hex] is flashed on another dongle and connected to RaspberryPi through USB port, does this support all Commands? Because from Openthread github code they are providing has CLI and used to communicate to other devices in a network.

If the CLI doesn't work with BorderRouter, then how can we send any commands to end device to perform specific operation? [To toggle LED/reading temperature sensor in EFR32 board].

With this image [BorderRouter- Raspberry pi flashed with nordic alpha 4.1.0.1 image + nrf52840 dongle in NCP design] formed thread network and could be able to join end device, but unable to send commands to end device. Let us know if there's any App/tool that we can use to send commands with my existing setup.

Thanks in advance.

    Hi Umamaheswarreddy, 

    Please follow the advice from your another thicket. We are not able to help you if you do not follow the advice. Simply summary:

    1. You need two nRF52840 DK if you only want to demo how two Thread devices are connected and using one device to control another one.

    2. If you want to control a device inside the Thread network from outside through a BoarderRouter. You need to learn about IP/UDP/CoAP based network communication knowledge. CLI is just one configuration interface, you can not use it to do whatever you want, you need to define and develop this kind of high-level application by yourself.

    Best regards,

    Charlie
