# OpenThread Border Router on OpenWRT
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Build
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is for local development.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 1. Add OpenThread feed
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Assuming `OPENWRT_TOP_SRCDIR` is the root of openwrt sources.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
echo src-link openthread "$(pwd)/etc/openwrt" >> ${OPENWRT_TOP_SRCDIR}/feeds.conf
|
||
|
|
cd "${OPENWRT_TOP_SRCDIR}"
|
||
|
|
./scripts/feeds update openthread
|
||
|
|
./scripts/feeds install openthread-br
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 2. Enable OpenThread Border Router
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OpenThread is not selected by default, so use menuconfig to select openthread-br (OpenThread Border Router).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
make menuconfig
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the configure window, use the Up and Down keys to move the cursor and the Left and Right keys to choose an action.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Select _Network_ to enter its submenu.
|
||
|
|
2. Enable _openthread-br_ by moving the cursor to it and pressing **Y**.
|
||
|
|
3. Select _Exit_ to exit.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 3. Build OpenThread Border Router
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
make package/openthread-br/compile
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
or to do a verbose make for debugging:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
make -j1 V=sc package/openthread-br/compile
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 4. Install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Copy the generated **ipk** file into OpenWRT, and install with **opkg**.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
opkg install openthread-br-1.0*.ipk
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Start
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Start otbr-agent manually:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
# Assuming that ttyUSB0 is a RCP with baudrate 115200.
|
||
|
|
/usr/sbin/otbr-agent 'spinel+hdlc+uart:///dev/ttyUSB0?uart-baudrate=115200'
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Edit the service file `/etc/init.d/otbr-agent` if RCP device is not `/dev/ttyUSB0` and then start with:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
service otbr-agent start
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Test
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Enter the OpenWRT web GUI. There will be a new item _Thread_ under _Network_. Scan or create network here.
