Detailed Description

An open source implementation of Thread stack.

Thread is a mesh oriented network stack running for IEEE802.15.4 networks.

The RIOT port allows to directly call OpenThread API functions using Event Queue. For example:

#include "ot.h"
#include "openthread/thread.h"
 
static void _panid_handler(event_t *event);
static event_t event_panid = {
    .handler = _panid_handler
};
 
static void _panid_handler(event_t *event)
{
    (void) event;
    uint16_t panid = otLinkGetPanId(openthread_get_instance());
    do_something_with_panid(panid);
}
 
int main(void)
{
    event_post(openthread_get_evq(), &event_panid);
    return 0;
}
