Thread commisioning

Hi

For the nRF52840, you can configure the Thread connection parameters using Kconfig (usually in prj.conf):
See Customizing pre-built libraries for configuration options.

Is this what you are looking for?

sort of. I found that already. But it doesn't tell me how to use it. I am completely new to thread and this coap-client example and also that page does not really help. The thread border router gives me a dataset. What am I supposed to do with that? The coap-client examples only sets a networkkey. I do not have a network key. Do I need a networkkey? Do I need the dataset? What is a dataset? 

I know how to change configuration, but I do not know what it is supposed to be set to.

To avoid misunderstandings, could you show how such a dataset looks?

How do you get the dataset, through a Command Line Interface or the Web GUI?

Are you running the docker version or the manual install of the OpenThread Border Router (OTBR)?

I myself did not implement the border router, I belief it is the docker version and the data set is retreived using the command line interface. 

This what I got, a large hex string: 0e080000000000010000000300001335060004001fffe00208ba4e7e231d7cdac00708fdbebfc27c9a2ce4051077d3802cc0b15639ae9a627f466c1025030f4f70656e5468726561642d643031340102d0140410c066dd368fdaae8a0a6e654c3162b0f40c0402a0fff8

Which command did you use to retrive the dataset?

we used this guide. https://openthread.io/codelabs/openthread-border-router#3

sudo ot-ctl dataset active -x

Hi

From the OpenThread CLI documentation, the "-x" appended to the dataset will make it return hex. Try to do the same command without the "-x".

Also, I can recommend our guide on the Thread Border Router. Still, both would be the OpenThread Border Router, so should not really be a difference.

That gives us some more info. We will continue testing. I will let you know when we made some progress (or not).

Thank you.
