Hey,
For my project I am working on I am using openThread to multicast when a Thingy52 connects to a nRF52840. The nRF52840 (central) connects with a Thingy52 (peripheral) using BLE. I store the BLE MAC address and multicast this, so far so good.
But what I want to do is save the IPv6 peeraddress from the nRF52840 that is connected with the thingy. For this I am reading the otIp6Address from the unit sending the multicast message.
When I read the address something weird happens though, the address is inverted in each index array. Might be really simple but thought I ask for some help.
What I am using to print the address:
printf("Peer address = %X %X %X %X %X %X %X %X \n", peer_address.mFields.m16[0], peer_address.mFields.m16[1] , peer_address.mFields.m16[2], peer_address.mFields.m16[3], peer_address.mFields.m16[4] , peer_address.mFields.m16[5], peer_address.mFields.m16[6], peer_address.mFields.m16[7]);
The result I get is:
Peer address = DEFD AD EFBE 0 0 FF00 FE 10
But what it should be is:
FDDE AD00 BEEF FF FE00 1000
The reason I know this is because of the openThread sniffer I am using which captures this packet:
no. time source destination protocol length info
2116 5208.341551 fdde:ad00:beef::ff:fe00:1000 ff03::1 CoAP 62 NON, MID:28789, PUT, /connection
So it seems the address is inverted and I am missing some numbers. I might be printing the address wrong or missing something here.
Does anyone have a better way of printing the addresses or can tell me if I am doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance,
ToasTer
