soburi/openthread_nrf52_arduino

A Arduino package for nRF52 that integrated with OpenThread

openthread_nrf52_arduino(ot-arduino)

original README.md rename to BlueFruit_nRF52.md

ot-arduino is an arduino package for nRF52840 that is integrated with the OpenThread subsystem. This package provides API that can communicate by OpenThread protocol.

Resources

• Gitter: https://gitter.im/openthread_nrf52_arduino/community

Installation

Add https://soburi.github.io/openthread_nrf52_arduino/package_soburi_otnrf52_index.json as an 'Additional Board Manager URL' in Arduino property. And install from Board Manager.

Preparation

Burn the bootloader at first from [Tools] -> [Burn Bootloader] (Need J-Link adapter to burn bootloader.)

Libraries

OpenThread library

OpenThread library provides two types of API.

CLI-command-like API

The CLI-command-like API provides the same function as CLI commands.

Each API function is a similar name to the CLI command. It can use to implement as arduino sketch the same command typed in CLI.

Low-Level API

Low-Level API is wrapped OpenThread API with exclusive execution. That ensures API can call safely.

Sockets Library

UdpSocket is available. TcpSocket(Server/Client) planned to implements the after openthread/openthread#6650 merged.

openthread_nrf52_arduino's Issues

[Feature] Reimplements ClientSocket and ServerSocket

In #7 changes, ClientSocket and ServerSocket implementation was removed temporary.

Integrate ProjectCHIP

Support for the Makerdiary nRF52840 MDK USB Dongle

Hello,
Thank You for this excellent package/library!
Would it be possible to add support for the nRF52840 MDK USB dongle?
I have looked at the variants.h files but don't know how the Arduino packages work.
Best regards

Configure CI environment

Bootloader with SoftDevice 7.0.1

Need update a bootloader to that contains sd7.0.1.

[Feature] Support PlatformIO

It maybe need to create new repository.

Even if so, this package's build system are complex to support PlatformIO.
Simplify the build system (#4) to help to creating PlatformIO package.

[Feature] COAP/COAPS Library

Create COAP/COAPS API wrapper library.

COAP/COAPS API available on OpenThread system.
Create library that use it to reducing footprint rather than use external arduino library.

[Feature] Reimplements Sockets library

Sockets library is depends on lwip now.
Reimplements Sockets library that use directly OpenThread UDP/TCP function to bypassing lwip.

Support Multiprotocol

Support BLE and Thread multiprotocol

Merge Adafruit_nRF52_Arduino 0.20.5

[Feature] SNTP library

Create SNTP wrapper library.

Implements wrapper library that wrap OpenThread's SNTP API.

[Feature] Simplify the build system

This package use helper tool for build binary.
That tool runs configure & make process,
compile only files in dependencies.
arduino-builder is compiling all files under directories,
So can't contains whole OpenThread repository onto package.

Shape and packaging OpenThread repository to be able to compile with arduino-builder.

[Feature] Remove ot-rtos

This package includes ot-rtos to run FreeRTOS with OpenThread integration.
ot-rtos is containg nested OpenThread source.
It make the build system complex.
But, it is really needing is about 5 c-language source files.
Others are utilities.
Remove dependenies to ot-rtos (mainly to lwip, #3) and reconstruct build system.
