OTBR image for Raspberry Pi 4

[kalpino]

Hello,

I have developed a Thread network based on SDK for Thread & Zigbee v.4.1.0 and OTBR image provided by Nordic.
I recently upgraded my OTBR from a Raspberry Pi 3B+ to a Raspberry Pi 4 due to performance requirements but I noticed that the OTBR image provided by Nordic is not compatible with Raspberry Pi 4, as it is also stated in this post.

Since the post is a few years old, I wonder if there has been any update on the matter and if a new OTBR image, also compatible for Raspberry Pi 4, will be available in the near future.
Otherwise, do you have any suggestions about self-developing an OpenThread Border Router based on RPi 4?

Thank you very much!

Hi Kalpino,

We have a blog discussing the current state of NCS and NRF5 SDK.

nRF Connect SDK and nRF5 SDK statement - Blogs - Nordic Blog - Nordic DevZone (nordicsemi.com)

In conclusion, please use NCS for your new Thread related development to get the latest updates. It has one chapter that discusses OTBR setup and has support for Raspberry Pi 3 Model B or newer.
