SUPPORTING INDUSTRY TECHNOLOGIES & ECOSYSTEMS

IoT Application Framework

Thread is a network layer connectivity technology, similar to Wi-Fi. This gives Thread device manufacturers the flexibility to choose how their product will interact with other devices. In some case, manufacturers can use their own application and connect to other products through the cloud. In other cases, open-standards based application framework can be used to enable their device to interact locally with other devices on the same network.

DALI+

- DALI+ with Thread brings interoperability, reliability, and streamlined operations to smart building technologies, marking a key advancement in digital lighting control for commercial buildings.

- Utilizing Thread's trusted mesh networking technology, DALI+ with Thread empowers wireless DALI, delivering the same dependable lighting control features alongside data-driven functions like real-time monitoring, all without the constraints of wired connections.

KNX

- KNX and Thread Group are working together to provide a solution incorporating Thread's IP-based networking layer with KNX's well-established and interoperable application that developers can easily implement into a product. KNX has chosen Thread as the low-power wireless communication protocol for KNX IoT.

Matter

- An open-sourced, royalty-free approach to a connectivity standard increasing compatibility among smart home products.

- The project aims to enable communication across smart home devices, mobile apps, and cloud services and to define a specific set of IP-based networking technologies for device certification.

- A priority network for Matter is Thread over 802.15.4-2006 at 2.4 GHz.

- The reference implementation of the new standard, and its supporting tooling, will be developed and maintained on the GitHub open source platform for all aspects of the specification.

- Developers can find more information about Matter on GitHub.

TOOLS

Thread Test Environment

An automated system of Thread reference implementations controlled by Thread Test Harness software. The Thread Test Environment, used for official Thread certification testing, is available to Thread Group members to do internal pretesting and debug - enabling a smooth certification experience. The test harness software also features an API and extensions that enable members to create custom test suites and integrate the Thread Test Environment into broader internal regression environments.

Wireshark

Wireshark - A free, broadly-used packet analyzer for observing and analyzing network protocol behavior. Paired with a Thread network sniffer (available in numerous development kits listed below), Wireshark is a valuable tool for developers to see the Thread protocol in action and troubleshoot implementation issues. Wireshark is also utilized by the Thread Test Environment.

SOLVING CHALLENGES

Support battery operated devices that need always-on connectivity

Thread is a low power wireless technology that enables devices to maintain a permanent connection to the internet, without requiring a mobile phone or proprietary gateway to be in range. Read more on how the Thread network protocol was designed with lowpower performance in mind from the ground up in our Value of Low Power white paper.

Need devices and networks to be protected

Protection is built into every Thread network across a wide variety of IoT applications in homes and buildings because it uses versions of the same types of security technologies (cryptography) that make applications across the “big Internet” safe – the ones that keep banking transactions, Amazon purchases and social media sessions secure. Thread simply adapts them to the special situation of IoT devices that are heavily power-managed and must automatically maintain network security with little or no user interaction. This cryptography not only keeps communications secret, but is also used to prove identity. Proof of identity then provides access control—this prevents random devices from connecting to the network, and prevents an attacker from controlling your thermostat or turning your lights on and off.

Need a complete architecture - device-to-device, device-to-cloud, cloud facilities

Reference Designs: Many companies in the Thread developer ecosystem provide reference implementations of a Thread Border Router. See table below for options.

Software Stack	TI OpenThread	The Texas Instruments OpenThread implementation for SimpleLink devices includes application examples, trainings, documentation and source code to support Thread networking based on Thread 1.3 integrated within the SimpleLink ecosystem.
Development Hardware	LP-EM-CC2745R10-Q1 LP-EM-CC2340R5 LP-EM-CC1354P10 LAUNCHXL-CC26X2R1 LP-CC2652R7 LAUNCHXL-CC1352R1 LAUNCHXL-CC1352P LP-CC1352P7	LaunchPad development kits enable quick-start evaluation of CC13xx/CC26xx devices, including on-board programming/debugging (IAR or CCS). Serial interfacing is simplified with pins routed to both male and female connectors.
Operating System	FreeRTOS	Developed in partnership with the world’s leading chip companies over an 18-year period, and now downloaded every 170 seconds, FreeRTOS is a market-leading real-time operating system (RTOS) for microcontrollers and small microprocessors. Distributed freely under the MIT open source license, FreeRTOS includes a kernel and a growing set of IoT libraries suitable for use across all industry sectors. FreeRTOS is built with an emphasis on reliability and ease of use.
Operating System	Zephyr RTOS	The Zephyr OS is an open source collaborative effort to build a real-time operating system (RTOS) for the Internet of Things (IoT). It is based on a small-footprint kernel designed for use on resource-constrained systems: from simple embedded environmental sensors and LED wearables to sophisticated smart watches and IoT wireless gateways.
Software Stack	OpenThread	To start using OpenThread with Zephyr check out the Echo Server and Echo Client networking examples from the Zephyr project repository on GitHub. You can run these examples on SoCs that provide support for an IEEE 802.15.4 radio, for example the Nordic nRF5340 SoC
