K32W(BLE+OpenThread)

danieltseng — Tue, 16 Jun 2020 12:43:46 GMT

I need to implement BLE+OpenThread, I found the following information:

1. Doc/readme.txt : Please refer to "OpenThread Demo Applications User Guide.pdf" but I don't know where to start, can you guide me?

2. Is it correct to use this example?

Hello,

You can find the information on how to deploy the different examples for the K32W in the SDK documentation of the device. In this case the document that describes the example is the OpenThread Demo Applications User Guide which you can find in the following path

<installation path >\SDK_2.6.0_K32W061\docs\wireless\OpenThread

You will need to check the chapter 9.9 OpenThread Bluetooth Low Energy Dual Mode OTAP Switch Application

This case is not very good, because of the increase of OTA, it becomes very complicated.
Are there other examples of pure BLE+ OpenThread ?
An example that proves that two protocols can run simultaneously.

Hello,

Sorry for the inconveniences this might cause you but that is currently the only example we have available with both protocols.

You will need to implement the example using as a base either that or the ZigBee and Bluetooth example.

Please consider that the combination of protocols used will not work at the same time, those are not concurrent, there is a switching in the radio between both protocols.

I understand that two protocol cannot work at the same time.
Just like the previous generation of KW41z, there are examples of providing BLE+thread
It uses the time-sharing fraction to switch the same antenna.

Hello,

As the device is still new, currently those are the only examples available.

Sorry for the inconveniences this might cause you.
