Directly on your machine, clone and build a simulated OpenThread NCP as
described in How to build OpenThread. After cloning and
bootstraping, build the sim example:
make -f examples/Makefile-simulation
Run the Pyspinel CLI, using the path to your simulated build:
cd path-to-pyspinelspinel-cli.py -p path-to-openthread/output/simulation/bin/ot-ncp-ftd -n 1
Verify the OpenThread version:
version
OPENTHREAD/20180926-01310-g9fdcef20; SIMULATION; Feb 11 2020 14:09:56
Start Thread on the simulated NCP and verify that it has become the leader
in a Thread network:
panid 1234
