Any solution to build an OpenThread Border Router with STM32WB ?

[JGUIT.1]

Hello,

I wonder if this exist or will exist in a near future. The wireless firmware for the STM32WB are clearly indicated they are not compatible with Border Router use case. I have seen similar solution at Nordic Semiconductor, but I wonder if ST will provide something for this.

I wonder also if the "Thread_Cli_Cmd" demo application can be used for this purpose ?

If you have information, I'm clearly interested.

The boarder router use case is not supported yet but is on our roadmap.

Hello Remi,

Thanks for the information. Have you got a date, even if it is note sure ? Is it in 2020 or later ?

Regards,

I understand, thanks.

Any updates on this topic @Remi QUINTIN​ I'm interested in bringing up an ecosystem based on the STM32WBs but the border router feature is an issue. I see there is software in the provided STM32WB package yet the release notes still say this feature is not supported.

Seems they are working on. One important topic will be the firmware of the radio core, without it it's not possible to do anything.

I'm also still very interested building an ecosystem with WB MCU.

The border router use case will be available in the next WB FW package V1.12.

Thanks @Remi QUINTIN​ this is good news !
