* Redefine otEnable/otDisable to just initialize/uninitialize the OpenThread stack. * Remove otInit API since it is replaced by otEnable. * Add otInterfaceUp/otInterfaceDown APIs to bring up/down IPv6 interface. * Add otThreadStart/otThreadStop APIs to start/stop Thread protocol operation. * Updated NCP implementation to utilize new APIs.
OpenThread CLI Example
This example application demonstrates a minimal OpenThread application that exposes the OpenThread configuration and management interfaces via a basic command-line interface. The steps below take you through the minimal steps required to ping one emulated Thread device from another emulated Thread device.
1. Build
$ cd <path-to-openthread>
$ ./bootstrap
$ make -f examples/Makefile-posix
2. Start node 1
Spawn the process:
$ cd <path-to-openthread>/output/<platform>/bin
$ ./ot-cli 1
Bring up the IPv6 interface:
> ifconfig up
Done
Start Thread protocol operation:
> thread start
Done
Wait a few seconds and verify that the device has become a Thread Leader:
> state
leader
Done
View IPv6 addresses assigned to Node 1's Thread interface:
> ipaddr
fdde:ad00:beef:0:0:ff:fe00:0
fe80:0:0:0:0:ff:fe00:0
fdde:ad00:beef:0:558:f56b:d688:799
fe80:0:0:0:f3d9:2a82:c8d8:fe43
Done
2. Start node 2
Spawn the process:
$ cd <path-to-openthread>/output/<platform>/bin
$ ./ot-cli 2
Bring up the IPv6 interface:
> ifconfig up
Done
Start Thread protocol operation:
> thread start
Done
Wait a few seconds and verify that the device has become a Thread Router:
> state
router
Done
3. Ping Node 1 from Node 2
> ping fdde:ad00:beef:0:558:f56b:d688:799
16 bytes from fdde:ad00:beef:0:558:f56b:d688:799: icmp_seq=1 hlim=64

You may note that the example above did not include any network parameter configuration, such as the IEEE 802.15.4 PAN ID or the Thread Master Key. OpenThread currently implements default values for network parameters, however, you may use the CLI to change network parameters, other configurations, and perform other operations.
See the OpenThread CLI Reference README.md to explore more.
