CC2652PSIP: Is there a way to run CC2652PSIP as a Thread NCP?

Part Number: CC2652PSIP
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSPM0G3507,

Tool/software:

I have the CC2652PSIP and I wanted to run this as a Thread Network Co-Processor (NCP). From the openthread-TI repository it says that this device is only supported as a RCP. I want to use CC2652PSIP as a NCP and have MSPM0G3507 as the host processor. Would this be possible? Any materials on how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

  • Hi Nikola,

    OpenThread doesn't support the hjost SW any longer (previously WPANTUND), so it was removed as there's no way to test it against the latest Thread features.  There's an effort by the OpenThread developers to add support on the host/embedded side for the OTBR (OpenThread Border Router) but it has not been completed as of yet, thus NCP is not included in the ot-ti repository. https://github.com/openthread/ot-br-posix/issues/2678 

    If you can allow an older version of Thread, SIMPLELINK-LOWPOWER-F2-SDK 7.10.02.23 was the latest SDK which supported NCP examples using the Thread v1.1 Specification.

    Regards,
