Thread
Introduction
Thread is a IP-based mesh networking protocol. It’s based on the 802.15.4 physical and MAC layer.
Application Examples
The openthread directory of ESP-IDF examples contains the following applications:
The OpenThread interactive shell openthread/ot_cli.
The Thread border router openthread/ot_br.
The Thread radio co-processor openthread/ot_rcp.
API Reference
For manipulating the Thread network, the OpenThread api shall be used. The OpenThread api docs can be found at the OpenThread official website.
ESP-IDF provides extra apis for launching and managing the OpenThread stack, binding to network interfaces and border routing features.

Functions
-
esp_err_t esp_openthread_lock_init(void)
This function initializes the OpenThread API lock.
- 返回
ESP_OK on success
ESP_ERR_NO_MEM if allocation has failed
ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE if already initialized
-
void esp_openthread_lock_deinit(void)
This function deinitializes the OpenThread API lock.
-
bool esp_openthread_lock_acquire(TickType_t block_ticks)
This function acquires the OpenThread API lock.
备注
Every OT APIs that takes an otInstance argument MUST be protected with this API lock except that the call site is in OT callbacks.
- 参数
block_ticks – [in] The maxinum number of RTOS ticks to wait for the lock.
- 返回
True on lock acquired
False on failing to acquire the lock with the timeout.
-
void esp_openthread_lock_release(void)
This function releases the OpenThread API lock.
-
bool esp_openthread_task_switching_lock_acquire(TickType_t block_ticks)
This function acquires the OpenThread API task switching lock.
备注
In OpenThread API context, it waits for some actions to be done in other tasks (like lwip), after task switching, it needs to call OpenThread API again. Normally it’s not allowed, since the previous OpenThread API lock is not released yet. This task_switching lock allows the OpenThread API can be called in this case.
备注
Please use esp_openthread_lock_acquire() for normal cases.
- 参数
block_ticks – [in] The maxinum number of RTOS ticks to wait for the lock.
- 返回
True on lock acquired
False on failing to acquire the lock with the timeout.
-
void esp_openthread_task_switching_lock_release(void)
