OpenThread on CC2538 Example

This directory contains example platform drivers for the Texas Instruments CC2538.

The example platform drivers are intended to present the minimal code necessary to support OpenThread. As a result, the example platform drivers do not necessarily highlight the platform's full capabilities.

Toolchain

Download and install the GNU toolchain for ARM Cortex-M.

Build Examples

$ cd <path-to-openthread>
$ ./bootstrap
$ make -f examples/Makefile-cc2538

After a successful build, the elf files are found in <path-to-openthread>/output/bin. You can convert them to bin files using arm-none-eabi-objcopy:

$ arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O binary arm-none-eabi-ot-cli arm-none-eabi-ot-cli.bin

Flash Binaries

Compiled binaries may be flashed onto the CC2538 using the Serial Bootloader Interface or JTAG interface. The cc2538-bsl.py script provides a convenient method for flashing a CC2538 via the UART.
