* on OSX I had an issue running the sniffer after following the readme
due to dnet not being installed. This may be listed elsewhere in the repo,
but it's nice to have all installation dependencies for a tool listed in
the readme for the tool
* ncp: Added sniffer host tool.
Split spinel-cli out into a general spinel python library module.
Added sniffer.py tool that leverages the spinel library module.
Added some initial unit tests of spinel.py module using MockStream.
From openthread root:
./tools/spinel-cli/sniffer.py -c 11 -n 1 -u /dev/ttyUSB0 | wireshark -k -i -
Adds support for routerselectionjitter, routerdowngradethreshold, and masterkey to fixe the slew of ncp-sim failures from recent thread-cert test updates. Also added missing otInstance parameter to the new APIs..
Added otInstance to new APIs.
Fixes Cert_5_6_06 and Cert_5_6_08. Fixes#517.
Collapse fcs16 into Hdlc class.
Add and correct subcommand completion handlers.
Move prefix handler to separate worker thread and task queue.
Channelize blocking spinel property change handlers to allow parallel
reuse across multiple threads.
Now calculates real round-trip times for ping6 reply:
12 bytes from fdde:ad00:beef::3388:cc1e:5e44:6150: icmp_seq=0 hlim=63 time=891ms
Increased pexpect timeout for ncp-sim to 4 sec to handle ping responses >2 sec.
Makes Cert_5_3_10_AddressQuery pass reliably, even on low memory Travis VMs.
Added initial stub for commissioner command.
Add env variable control of ncp-sim DEBUG output.
* Improve ping reliability by making it fully async. Eliminate 5_1_07 from XFAIL list.
* Some non-core changes: readd missing StreamSocket class, improve handling of command.
* ncp: Added spinel-cli and initial travis CI test suite integration.
This PR adds a command line tool, named spinel-cli, that converts ot-cli shell commands (as documented in https://github.com/openthread/openthread/blob/master/src/cli/README.md) to spinel NCP commands (as documented in https://github.com/openthread/openthread/blob/master/src/ncp/PROTOCOL.md).
Also added is a patch to node.py that provides a way to run the existing continuous integration certification test suite against an NCP build rather than a CLI build (by prefacing the command to start the test with the environment variable setting NODE_TYPE=ncp-sim):
cd tests/scripts/thread-cert
NODE_TYPE=ncp-sim top_builddir=../../.. python Cert_5_1_02_ChildAddressTimeout.py
The power of this tool is three fold:
1) As a path to add testing of the NCP in simulation to continuous integration
2) As a path to automated testing of testbeds running NCP firmware on hardware
3) As a simple debugging tool for NCP builds of OpenThread

The tool provides three ways to connect to an NCP image:
1) pipe to stdin/stdout of a command line tool (default): -p ./ot-ncp
2) serial connection to a hardware device: -u /dev/ttyUSB0
3) socket connection to the port of a helper tool such as ncp-spi-driver: -s 1234
