my-gitpod-of-openthread

Openthread connects lots of little IoT microcomputers to each other and the internet. Think Nest home products.

Update Feb 28th, 2012

For Edge impulse try the folder https://github.com/hpssjellis/my-gitpod-of-openthread/tree/master/edge-impulse/local-build-firmware for installation on

etaCompute, SiliconLabs, Arduino-nan33bleSense, links about C++, MBEd, Zephre, Nordic and Himax

The live gitpod.io link above makes the gitpod from scratch, nice to get newer files but takes a while to build (~10 minutes) and may crash

below link will load a pre-made working gitpod. Very cool and faster to load but might not have the latest github entries.

This Gitpod Created Feb 28th, 2021

Dec 8th, 2019 updated with Nordic-sdk, Openthread and the amazing PlatformIO

Now with 3 nordic sdk's and PlatformIO running

proof PlatformIO

If you have an Arduino Uno

mkdir pio-test
cd pio-test
pio init -b uno
# check out the src folder --> main.cpp. Make one if not there (Should add some serial code to test)
pio run

# if remote agent working on a local computer setup with the Arduin (pio account login, pio remote agent start)

pio account login
pio remote run -t upload
pio remote device monitor

pre-compiled proof Openthread

# The main.c file is
cd /workspace/my-gitpod-of-openthread/openthread-all/openthread/examples/apps/cli

the .ld files are at 

cd /workspace/my-gitpod-of-openthread/openthread-all/openthread/examples/platforms/nrf528xx/nrf52840

# Final .hex files

cd /workspace/my-gitpod-of-openthread/openthread-all/openthread/output/nrf52840/bin

pre-compiled proof Nordic SDK

Help about each example https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.nordic.infocenter.sdk5.v15.0.0%2Fnrf_dev_simple_timer_example.html

# note the main.c file here for peripheral blinky
cd /workspace/my-gitpod-of-openthread/nordic/nordic-sdk/examples/ble_peripheral/ble_app_blinky
ls -la

# probably best to use the folders and go to nordic --> nordic-sdk --> examples --> ble_peripheral --> ble_app_blinky

# Look at main.c


Since the make command has already been done go to to see the results
pca10059 --> s140 --> armgcc --> _build

# should see some .hex files
# or just use this cd command

cd /workspace/my-gitpod-of-openthread/nordic/nordic-sdk/examples/ble_peripheral/ble_app_blinky/pca10059/s140/armgcc/_build

.

To run any of the nordic examples the componenet s--> toolchain --> Makefile.posix file needs these values. Should have been automatically changed. But worth checking

GNU_INSTALL_ROOT := /usr/bin/
GNU_VERSION := 7.3.1
GNU_PREFIX := arm-none-eabi

.

These commands are automatically done from the openthread folder, but you can run them again from the openthread directory

cd /workspace/my-gitpod-of-openthread/openthread-all/openthread

 make -f examples/Makefile-nrf52840 USB=1 BOOTLOADER=USB BORDER_AGENT=1 BORDER_ROUTER=1 COMMISSIONER=1 JOINER=1 UDP_PROXY=1 CFLAGS+=-UCONFIG_GPIO_AS_PINRESET 
 
arm-none-eabi-objcopy output/nrf52840/bin/ot-ncp-ftd -O ihex output/nrf52840/bin/ncp_app.hex

arm-none-eabi-objcopy output/nrf52840/bin/ot-cli-ftd -O ihex output/nrf52840/bin/ot-cli-ftd.hex


#to convert to binary try

arm-none-eabi-objcopy output/nrf52840/bin/ot-cli-ftd -S -O binary output/nrf52840/bin/ot-cli-ftd.bin

Main github for openthread https://github.com/openthread

My bash installation file is at https://github.com/hpssjellis/particle.io-photon-high-school-robotics/blob/master/a17-particle-mesh/openthread/openthread-install-all.sh

go up a folder for more information, this link is also useful https://hpssjellis.github.io/particle.io-photon-high-school-robotics/a17-particle-mesh/openthread/install-openthread.html

Good youtube video about the nordic sdk
