How to interface nRF53 with a Linux board?

[sushant thakur]

Hi,

I am evaluating nRF53 for ZigBee in a Linux application that implements a MQTT-SN Gateway. I am interested in learning about Linux board can connect to the nRF53 (USB/SPI/UART?). Next, I want to understand how can I interact with ZigBee stack (is it via AT commands? will nRF53 show up as a network interface?). The nRF53 connected to Linux board will be the ZigBee co-ordinator in my application. I want to be able to read/write MQTT-SN packets coming from nRF53.

Hello,

I suggest that you check out the documentation for the NCP sample found in NCS\nrf\samples\zigbee\ncp.

The short answer is that it will not show up as a network interface, but you can use serial tools to communicate with the network. 

I have not tested this sample (as I am working from a Windows machine), but perhaps you can look at the documentation for the sample, and perhaps try it, and let me know if you are stuck, or if you have any specific questions when testing this.

Best regards,
