Could not get ESP32-C6 Thread Network working via the ESP Thread Border Router (TZ-1014)

[digidhamu]

I could not get ESP32-C6 joined to Thread Network. I do have ESP Thread Border Router running and connected WiFi and able to ping the IPv6 address from outside. Could you please assist me anything wrong I am doing from the below.

Commands Used

cd esp-matter/examples/light
cp sdkconfig.defaults.c6_thread sdkconfig.defaults.esp32c6
idf.py set-target esp32c6
idf.py build
idf.py -p /dev/tty.usbserial-110 flash monitor

SDKConfig

Configured as per Thread Border Router dataset active output

The Matter light example can't join the pre-configured Thread network automatically, it requires the matter commissioning, please follow this instruction: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-matter/en/latest/esp32h2/developing.html#commissioning

If you want the device to join the network automatically, you can use the ot_cli example, and enable the CONFIG_OPENTHREAD_AUTO_START option.

BTW, the C6 log I (1383) chip[SVR]: Fabric already commissioned. Disabling BLE advertisement indicates the device is already commissioned, need to erase flash before the next test.
