Is RCP design a FTD or MTD? Not clear that it can be an MTD. #7882

Hello, I have worked through many of the examples. If I want to configure a Linux device with either the siLabs or nRF RCP, is it possible to use this setup as a MED/SED? Or is the RCP configuration always an FTD? It is not really clear from any of the documentation. There are choices for ot-cli-ftd & ot-cli-mtd, but nothing implies those will actually work with ot-ctl/ot-daemon. When using the Posix apps, everything implies the radio chipset should be flashed with ot-rcp, but it isn't clear the difference between ot-cli-ftd, ot-cli-mtd, & ot-rcp without dissecting the code manually. Thoughts? Lastly, is there any documentation on what all of the options for ot-ctl are? I used 'help', but it is not easy finding the information on my own. |

When using an RCP, the Thread protocol primarily runs on a host processor that is separate from the RCP - see Co-Processor Designs.
OpenThread supports FTD and MTD configurations regardless of how your system is implemented, whether it is an SoC or Co-Processor design. For CLI documentation, see src/cli. |

ot-cli-ftdandot-cli-mtdare used with SoC designs - see Single-Chip, Thread-Only (SoC).OpenThread supports FTD and MTD configurations regardless of how your system is implemented, whether it is an SoC or Co-Processor design.
