Test of OpenThread RCP on Nordic hardware

[Nerivec]

Anyone willing and able to build and experiment some more, please share your findings here!

Example from OpenThread: https://github.com/openthread/ot-nrf528xx

Current reported state:

• Early experimentation from puddly points to transmission issues (reception appears fine) when using STREAM_RAW mode with Nordic firmware/hardware.

Known issues:

Known limitations:

Can not build fw for my NRF52840 (Nice! Nano v2.0) :(

Anyone tested this more, I understand that it should be compatible with Nordic Semi USB adapters and development boards/kits based on nRF52 series or nRF53 series SoCs as long as build the OpenThread RCP firmware corretcly for each specific board/kit to get pin-compatibility.

Like example:

• nRF52840 dongle
• nRF52840 development kit
• nRF5340 development kit (nRF5340 DK has not been tested but should be compatible)
• nRF54L15 DK (nRF54L Series Development Kit)

also probably these less expensive USB dongles and open-source hardware;

• nRF52840 MDK USB Dongle = Open-Source hardware from makerdiary.
• Holyiot 21017 (model HOLYIOT-21017-nRF52840) = nRF52840 USB dongle with PA (Power Amplifier) and external antenna.
• Holyiot 22046 (Model: YJ-17120-USB or HOLYIOT-22046-USB) = Black or white mini nRF52840 USB dongle with PCB antenna.
• Ebyte E104-BT5040U USB dongle = an inexpensive nRF52840 based USB radio dongle from Ebyte.
• Seeed Studio XIAO nRF54L USB-C development boards based on nRF54L15 chip.
