Hi, I am currently evaluating the NRF52840 for our applications which will be deployed in underground mines across South Africa.
I see that Nordic has a good relationship with Zephyr and Renode as shown in the post below:
My goal at this stage is to evaluate the Openthread protocol with the NRF52840 however when I compile the Zephyr Echo_Server/Client with the openthread overlay or the ieee802.15.4 overlay, I notice that no packets are being sent to the NRF52840 radio as shown by Wireshark on Renode.
If you have any insights as to why this is, or any suggestions on configuring the Zephyr application (Echo_Server/Client) to work on Renode (with 802.15.4 / Openthread), please advise me.
I tested the Zephyr application on 2 physical nrf52840dk devices and that was successful, i.e. Two-way communication was established using openthread or regular 802.15.4.
I need to test on Renode as this will enable me to test a large number of devices which will be required for our application.
My Zephyr Echo_Server prj.conf is as follows:
