Thread Dev Board (TBD) is the end device part of the thread kit developed by GL-iNet. Developers can test thread-related features and develop their own features based on the TBD.
TBD currently implements the following functions:
- Join a thread network as a Thread Router / Thread End Device / Thread Sleepy End Device.
- Real-time collection of current environment information and uploading to S200 gateway via thread.
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Air pressure
- Pyroelectric infrared
- Rotary encoder status
- GPIO input
- Receive command and execute operations in real time via thread
- RGB LED on/off
- Change RGB LED color
- GPIO output
- Firmware upgrade
- DFU by UART
- DFU by thread

Support versions
west init -m https://github.com/gl-inet/gl-nrf-sdk --mr v2.2.0-glinet gl-nrf-sdk
cd gl-nrf-sdk/
west update
gl-dev-board-over-thread demo is used as an example.
cd glinet/gl-dev-board-over-thread
west build -b gl_nrf52840_dev_board
- Using an external debug probe
Please power on the GL Thread DEV Board. Refer to the picture below, connect SWDCLK, SWDIO and GND of the GL Thread DEV Board to the same pin of J-LINK. Then connect J-LINK to ubuntu, and use the west command to flash the firmware to GL Thread DEV Board.
west flash --erase
- DFU over Serial
The GL Thread Dev Board is built-in with MCUboot bootloader. Please refer to UART_DFU.
- DFU over IP
The GL.iNET S200 built-in with mcumgr. After gl-dev-board-over-thread demo is connected to S200, you can refer to the following command to upgrade.

Reference https://docs.gl-inet.com/iot/en/iot_dev_board/ add TDB(GL Thread DEV Board) to the thread network. After successfully joining the network, you can view the collected data such as temperature reported by the OTB to gl-s200 on the web page, or run commands in the background of gl-s200 to control the OTB.
