Adding I2C(TWI) support in Openthread gives error while linking about ot-nrf528xx HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @Hard1kPrajapati ,

For complex applications running OpenThread on nRF52840 device with more subsystems enabled, I would recommend to use nRF Connect SDK instead of OT-nRF52840. This SDK is available in Github: https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf. In the SDK you get support for all peripherals available in nRF5 platform including I2C and SPI. I'm afraid enabling support for complex applications in OT-nRF52840 would require much effort.

As an alternative, you could have a look at nRF5 SDK for Thread and Zigbee, an older but still maintained solution.

Hi @hubertmis,
Thank you for your response.

I have tried nRF5 SDK and facing the same error while merging the I2C and SPI source code with opentread. But somehow I have added the driver source file to the project and managed to compile it successfully. So, I think in the OT-nRF52840 source as well I have to add the driver source file in any Makefile to make it work.

Also, if I use nRF5 SDK which must be using the fixed last commit of any OT version, If I want to upgrade it with the latest changes then I will have to update the libraries every time.

I am more concerned for the OT-nRF52840 source which can be easily manageable. Can someone help me how to add the driver file? The error I am facing listed below:

/opt/gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2020-q2-update/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/9.3.1/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: openthread/examples/apps/cli/CMakeFiles/ot-cli-ftd.dir/main.c.obj: in function `twi_init':
