Thanks for the quick reply, Marte! So simple, I should have thought of it myself! I can confirm, everything works as intended with this change.

Hi,

You are correct that the issue can be traced to the IEEE 802.14.5 radio not being enabled on the MicroBit. The radio needs to be configured and enabled in devicetree. This can be solved by creating a devicetree overlay file with the following:

/ {
	chosen {
        zephyr,ieee802154 = &ieee802154;
    };
};

&ieee802154 {
	status = "okay";
};

If you name the overlay app.overlay or bbc_microbit_v2.overlay, it should automatically be included in the build.

I tested the Zigbee Template sample with this overlay on the MicroBit v2, and it worked.

Best regards,
Marte
