OpenThread Radio Co-Processor (RCP) Example

This example demonstrates an OpenThread Radio Co-Processor.

OpenThread RCP doesn't function alone, it needs to work together with a Host and this example covers two common user scenarios:

• Work with a Host Processor to perform a Thread Border Router.
• Work as a Thread Sniffer.

How to use example

Hardware Required

To run this example, a board with IEEE 802.15.4 module (for example ESP32-H2) is required.

Configure the project

The default communication interface is port 0 of ESP32-H2 UART running at 460800 baud, change the configuration in esp_ot_config.h if you want to use another interface or need different communication parameters.

Build and Flash

Build the project and flash it to the board:

idf.py -p <PORT> build flash

Now you'll get an OpenThread RCP, you can try the following use cases:

Thread Border Router

Please refer to ot_br example for the setup steps.

Thread Sniffer

Please refer to Thread Sniffer for the detailed instructions.
