Hey Øyvind

Any update on my issue ? It's been more than a week now waiting for solution.

I bought a new nrf52840 DK board and when I run the thread examples like COAP and MQTTSN, I am able to use openthread CLI using debug/UART port. But I want to access Open Thread CLI port using nRF USB port in COAP and MQTTSN examples.

I hope I have made clear what I want.

When I run the CLI example, I can access the openthread CLI using nRF5 USB port.

So simply how can I switch the interface in thread COAP,mqttsn examples.

Hey,

I am using nRF5 SDK for thread and zigbee v4.1

What version of nRF5 SDK for Thread and Zigbee are you using?

I'm still waiting for our OpenThread experts, I expect them back on Monday.

I have read the docs many times and also referred this doc https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fsdk_tz_v3.1.0%2Fthread_example_dfu.html to check which examples are supported by Thread cli.

[quote userid="77062" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/78447/openthread-cli-port-in-nrf5-sdk-for-thread-example/325144#325144"]USB or UART [/quote]

Okay as u said CLI can choose either USB or UART and I think in normal mqtt-sn example or coap example UART is configured for thread CLI option.

But in my application I would like to use nRF USB for CLI interface. So how could I switch or configure thread CLI so that I can use USB interface for CLI operations. Hopefully I made my question clear this time around.

Hello,

[quote userid="77062" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/78447/openthread-cli-port-in-nrf5-sdk-for-thread-example/325144#325144"]Do you mean that it shows in the device manager as a COM port?[/quote]

I have successfully completed the CLI example in thread folder by building it using Segger studio. CLI example let me use nRF USB as the interface for openthread CLI just what I need.

But issue is with other thread examples were i am not able to get openthread CLI on nRF USB port. I am using nRF2840 DK board only.i have read the docs as well code and I can see that thread cli is getting initialized in code as well. But when I build and flash the dk board I am not able to see my nRF USB port detected as ttyacm0 (basically not getting thread CLI interface via nRF USB)

What should I do to enable thread cli on nRF usb port ?

Can you please provide more information of the issue you are facing? Have you read the sample documentation? Are you using using both samples on the nRF52840 DK? Are you using the pre-compiled file from i.e. examples\thread\simple_coap_client\hex ? The Thread CLI sample can choose either USB or UART under either FTD or MTD.

Do you mean that it shows in the device manager as a COM port?

Hello Brian,

Our OpenThread experts are currently on vacation. I will need to discuss the issue before I can provide an answer to this issue.

Kind regards,
