[Feature request] Implement the multipan stuffs from Silicon Labs into ot-br-posix #1779

Open caipiblack opened 1 year ago

caipiblack commented 1 year ago

We are using EFR32 dongle with multipan firmware (this is a solution from Silicon Labs to use the same dongle for Zigbee, Thread and Bluetooth communication)

Currently we have to use ot-br-posix version from gecko_sdk because they made some modifications in Openthread to support the multipan stuff that is not yet in the official repository

In their implementation, openthread connects to a daemon called cpcd:

So maybe their modifications are around the radio-url and connection stuff

It should be very good, to merge their stuff in the official ot-br-posix repository, so that the user will be able to use the last versions of openthread instead of versions fixed in the gecko_sdk. gecko sdk

Hi @caipiblack,
