How To Teach Threading To A Dolphin
summary
Modified an NRF USB dongle into a Flipper Zero Thread radio extension board by soldering power and UART lines to a Nordic radio, running OpenThread via a small firmware image. Prototype uses Flipper JavaScript (≈50 KB VM, ≈1 KB RAM) to query PAN/channel/network name, retrieve thread dataset or exported Matter keys, then ping Google over IPv6, perform TCP port scans and tunnels, and forward an SSH port; live demo partly fails but video shows it working.
