K64F + FRDM-CR20A linking with KW41Z

Hi!

I'm running the ARMmbed Thread nanostack-border-router (K64F + FRDM-CR20A). Communicating from PC to the border router works fine, but I'm not able to connect the KW41Z REED to the thread network setup by the border router.

The KW41Z REED stack is a demo project from NXP, so not running ARMmbed (since this is in development currently).

Why do these devices not connect? Any ideas on how to connect them? Thanks!

Sorry for the late answer!

First you need to ensure that RF configuration for MCR20A is valid (Use MCR20 in the configuration file)

Then you need to have same network configuration in both devices in order to connect. It is mandatory that channel, PAN-id and master-key are the same in both devices.

You can check the Thread border router configuration from https://github.com/ARMmbed/nanostack-border-router/blob/master/configs/Thread_Atmel_RF.json.
