recipes found on net are wrong:
don't flash the cli, flash ot-rcp instead!
arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O ihex build/bin/ot-cli-ftd ot-cli-ftd.hex needs to be
arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O ihex build/bin/ot-rcp ot-rcp.hex instead!

@markus61 , can you point to the instructions you used so that we can make necessary updates?

from ot-nrf528xx.

@jwhui , the confusion might come from the instructions at this link. Adding a few lines there to point out which build to use for which case might be useful, especially for those new to OpenThread.

I'm trying to do the same on my side. It seems like there is a lot of conflicting information right now with a mix of legacy and current stuff.

I think the best/current documentation for this right now is this:
https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/matter/openthread_rcp_nrf_dongle.html

Though I have yet to test it.

I'm here to report, the documentation mentioned in my previous post worked fine on my end.

Closing stale issue.
