Thread CLI not working in BC840DK

[Sunil vignesh]

Hi I am testing the Thread examples

I worked on SIMPLE_COAP_EXAMPLE in nrf52840 DK there it works fine while opening UART and enter to CLI commands and its working

but i have implement same code to the board BC840DK where the uart pins are P1.01,P1.02 (RX,TX)

I can doubt that due to uart pin change the cli doesn't work for bc840dk but i don't know where to config the cli uart lines

No i didn't clone this.

After clone this git. the build commands also there in file?

The build scripts are already present in the project directory. You just needs to clone the OpenThread repository from GitHub, then run the Python scripts as described in my link, after checking out the correct commit.

Hi Jorgen,

i tested sdk v4.1.0 simple_coap_client example in ppk

why power consumption is 12mA.

is anything need to configure for low power

[Jørgen Holmefjord]

Hi,

If the example is operating as a router and not having DCDC regulator enabled, the default run current for the radio in receive/transmit mode is ~10-12 mA. Thread routers will keep their radio in receive mode at all times when idle, to be able to receive and route packets from other nodes. If you need lower current consumption, you need to configure the device as sleepy end device (see MTD CoAP Client). It will also help quite a bit to enable the DCDC regulator.

Best regards,
Jørgen

Thank you Jorgen,

  I will workout on this MTD CoAP client .
