# OpenThread command line example 

## Overview

This example demonstrates a [basic OpenThread command line](https://github.com/openthread/openthread/blob/master/src/cli/README.md).

## How to use example

### Hardware connection

To run this example, it's used to use an DevKit C board and connect PIN4 and PIN5 to the UART TX and RX port of another 15.4 capable radio co-processor ([RCP](https://openthread.io/platforms/co-processor?hl=en))

### Configure the project

```
idf.py menuconfig
```

The example can run with the default configuration.

### Build, Flash, and Run

Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:

```
idf.py -p PORT build flash monitor
```

Now you'll get an interactive OpenThread command line shell.
