Border Router Training with the RW612 and MCX W71 - Guide 1 Building your binaries - NXP Community

[#1]

This guide walks you through the process of setting up an OpenThread build environment and demonstrates how to build binaries for the FRDM-RW612 and FRDM-MCXW71 evaluation boards.

By the end of this guide, you’ll also learn how to modify your projects to enable LED control and sensor readings over Thread using CoAP. You’ll be introduced to the key files that need to be changed to achieve this functionality.

Guide Structure

The guide is divided into three main sections:

1. Introduction to OpenThread
   A brief overview of OpenThread and its capabilities.

2. Setting Up the WSL Environment
   Step-by-step instructions for creating a Linux environment on Windows using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) and configuring it for OpenThread builds.

3. Project Modifications
   Instructions for updating the OpenThread demo projects to:

   • Control the on-board LEDs
   • Access the on-board sensors

Important Note

This guide is intended for self-paced setup and should be completed before the training session. Due to the time required to configure the build environment and modify the projects, we will provide pre-built images during the training. The session will begin with Guide 2.
