Using RSMB (really small message broker) on a raspberry pi 3b thread boarder router to connect nrf52840 - DK to AWS

[SmartSpout]

Hello, 

I have connected multiple nrf52840 - DK (modified thread mqtt-sn oub/sub example) to a thread network hosted on a raspberry pi 3b with nrf52840 - dongle with the RSMB (really small message broker running). I have verified that the broker is receiving MQTT-SN messages from the end devices but those messages aren't being forwarded to AWS and vice versa. 

I have seen things online about using Paho's broker but my image of the thread border router does not have paho installed. Is there anyway to put paho on the border router without completely destroying the image?

I'm looking to get AWS to publish a message and have the end devices subscribe to that topic. If someone understands this issue, please let me know. Thank you for your time.

Hello,

I think you should be able to just add paho (yes, without destroying the image). The border router is a bit on the side of what we actually work with. We do provide some guidance on how to set it up, but I suggest you look into OpenThread's guide (which is owned by Google) on how to set it up. There should be an option on how to use Nordic devices there. My point being that Openthread knows this better than me, at least, and what it can and can't do. In that case, you don't need to trust a "blind install" of a border router, which you don't know how to modify.

Best regards,

Edvin
