Enable mtd role in nRF_Connect_SDK

[Bhumika]

Hi,

In Nrf_SK_for_Thread_and_Zigbee, for openthread mtd, we used to define thread configuration in following code:

thread_configuration_t thread_configuration =
            {
                    .radio_mode              = THREAD_RADIO_MODE_RX_OFF_WHEN_IDLE,
                    .autocommissioning       = false,
                    .poll_period             = 30000,
                    .default_child_timeout   = 60,
            };
    thread_init(&thread_configuration);

So to use node as SED (sleepy end device) we would set "THREAD_RADIO_MODE_RX_OFF_WHEN_IDLE" and set a polling period for SED to poll data from its parent at a fixed time interval.

In the case of nRF_Connect_SDK, how do we set "THREAD_RADIO_MODE_RX_OFF_WHEN_IDLE" this mode and configure the polling period?

Hello,

You should set CONFIG_OPENTHREAD_MTD_SED=y in your projects prj.conf. 

Then you need to put the device in sleeping mode. Look at how this is done in the NCS\nrf\samples\openthread\coap_client example.

Best regards,
