Thread-only examples

The following Thread-only examples demonstrate applications running only on Thread protocol based on the OpenThread stack.

Before running the examples, see Running precompiled examples.

• Thread Secure OTA DFU Example demonstrates how to run a secure Device Firmware Update (DFU) process over a Thread network.
• Thread CLI Example demonstrates a minimal OpenThread application that enables user interaction through built-in CLI.
• Thread CoAP Examples demonstrate interaction between nodes performing different Thread roles with the use of OpenThread and built-in CoAP protocol.
• Thread thethings.iO Cloud CoAP Client Example demonstrates interaction between the development kit and a remote Cloud service.
• Thread Google Cloud Platform CoAP Example demonstrates the interaction with the Google Cloud Platform.
• Thread MQTT-SN Example demonstrates interaction between nodes with the use of OpenThread and built-in MQTT-SN protocol.
• Thread MQTT-SN Sleepy Nodes Example demonstrates interaction between sleeping nodes with the use of OpenThread and built-in MQTT-SN protocol.
• Thread NCP/RCP Example demonstrates an OpenThread application that can serve as a low-power wireless Network Co-Processor (NCP) to communicate with Userspace WPAN Network Daemon (wpantund).
• Thread NFC MeshCoP Example demonstrates Thread native commissioning using NFC with use of OpenThread and Border Router.

Device support breakdown

Not all Thread-only examples support all nRF52840 and nRF52833 devices. See the following table for an overview.
