Hi Everyone,
I am relatively new to the mbed ecosystem. I am trying to evaluate the state of the software for a future wireless 802.15.4 design. I would would like to build a thread demonstration using the SAMR21 XPlained Development Board. I have seen similar examples on Atmel’s video demonstrations.
I have successfully configured yotta to build the default blinky app for the SAMR21 XPlained Development Board. It blinks and spits text out the USB serial port. Woot! Win!
I believe my next jumping off point is the mbed-client-example-6lowpan.
I have changed the configuration to “appl_bootstrap_mode_thread: true” and “device_type: MESH_DEVICE_TYPE_THREADY_SLEEPY_END_DEVICE”
I have worked through the compile time issues and all the modules are currently building. The issue I have is at link time.
<code \Link Error>
~/sandbox/mbed-client-example-6lowpan/yotta_targets/atmel-samr21g18a-gcc/CMake/…/ld/samr21g18a.ld:115 cannot move location counter backwards (from 000000002000bd84 to 0000000020006000)
I believe this error is a result of trying to squeeze too much into the 32KB of RAM on the MCU. Which brings up the relevant questions:
1.) This video demonstrates Thread running on the evaluation hardware. Is that example available in public anywhere?
2.) If I need to shrink the RAM and Flash footprint of the demonstration, what modules can be removed? I have provided the output of yt ls below.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,
