The Dialog OpenThread Sandbox development kit, available from Mouser Electronics, contains all the necessary components for developers to begin designing Thread-based networks. The Thread protocol is a low-power, IPv6-addressable mesh network with advanced security implemented at the network layer. The protocol provides secure, short-range RF networks for the IoT market and related products for wireless industrial applications.
The OpenThread Sandbox Development Kit comprises a USB- or coin cell-powered hardware development board based on Dialog's 802.15.4 SmartBond™ SoC with Thread capability, accessible via UART and JTAG without additional external hardware. Furthermore, Dialog's SmartSnippets™ Software Development Kit (SDK), along with software tools and documentation included in the kit, provides an ideal environment for contributing to OpenThread software development, all of which are available through the GitHub repository.
