I am starting to develop for Android Things and I was wondering if it was possible to implement OpenThread Border Router on a Raspberry PI 3B with Android Things flashed into it.

https://github.com/openthread/openthread https://github.com/openthread/borderrouter

"A Border Router connects a Thread network to networks at different layers, such as WiFi or Ethernet. OpenThread Border Router provides end-to-end IP via routing between Thread devices and other external IP networks, as well as external Thread Commissioning."

Update: While Border Routing functionality isn't available on Android Things, the Android team released a new API that adds first-class support for Thread radios. This makes it possible to develop Android applications that implement border routing functionality equivalent to borderrouter. See the blog for more details. Note that I'm not aware of any implementations at this time as I no longer work on the project.

I work on the OpenThread team. Currently, the borderrouter project targets Linux platforms and has been demonstrated on a Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspbian Jesse Lite. Android Things is not supported at this time. We plan on supporting more platforms but I have no updates of when new ones will be added. Please file a feature request issue on Github.
