OpenThread RTOS

The OpenThread RTOS project provides an integration of:

OpenThread, an open-source implementation of the Thread networking protocol.
LwIP, a small independent implementation of the TCP/IP protocol suite.
FreeRTOS, a real time operating system for microcontrollers.

OpenThread RTOS includes a number of application-layer demonstrations, including:

MQTT, a machine-to-machine (M2M)/"Internet of Things" connectivity protocol.
HTTP, the underlying protocol used by the World Wide Web.
TCP, one of the main transport protocols in the Internet protocol suite.

Getting started

Linux simulation

git submodule update --init
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DPLATFORM_NAME=linux
make -j12

This will build the CLI test application in build/ot_cli_linux.

Nordic nRF52840

git submodule update --init
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake/arm-none-eabi.cmake -DPLATFORM_NAME=nrf52
make -j12

This will build the CLI test application in build/ot_cli_nrf52840.hex. You can flash the binary with nrfjprog(Download) and connecting to the nRF52840 DK serial port. This will also build the demo application in build/ot_demo_101. See the Demo 101 README for a description of the demo application.
