I am currently building a cost efficient Open Thread network. In my setup i have few Full thread devices and Minimal Thread Device which will be sending data to cloud via Border Router. I have currently setup a RCP design Open Thread Border Router on RPi 3B+ by following the open thread docs and its working fine.
Doc Link: Open Thread Border Router Build and Configuration
Now as i want my final product to be as cost efficient as it can be, i would like to consider using RPi Zero W for setting up my Open Thread Border Router. So i was following the same steps mentioned in OTBR doc to setup it on RPi Zero W, i came across this line in Step 3 which states " Before you continue, make sure your configured hardware platform is connected to the internet using Ethernet. The bootstrap script disables the platform's WiFi interface and the setup script requires internet connectivity to download and install several packages. "
But my RPi Zero W only have WiFi interface. So i wanted to know, is it even possible to run OTBR setup on RPi Zero W ?
I have also read in docs that "Open Thread Border Router (OTBR) provides support for the Raspberry Pi 3B or newer (RPi) platform". But have anyone tried the same setup on RPi Zero W and was successful ? Because in the end as i said, i would like my final product to be as cost effective as possible.

1. Is only RCP design supported by the border router, because i saw video from Google on Youtube on Open Thread were they have also implemented NCP design Border Router.
2. Also i would like to know on my Border Router how can i receive the data, which is sent by all the nodes in the thread network. My objective is to send data to Border Router from there i can establish a MQTT connection to cloud to forward data. Currently i am using Nordic Coap Client Server examples, but not able to watch the packets received on border router.I have used tcpdump with wpan0 interface but it just gives the traffic information on network, which IPs are sending etc.

"You can still use the nRF5 SDK for Thread and ZigBee for our nRF52 Series SoCs. Be aware that only the nRF Connect SDK is in active development. For all new products we recommend the nRF Connect SDK."

Step_1 : Clone the OTBR repository (wpantund version)
cd ot-br-posix
./script/bootstrap
NETWORK_MANAGER=0 ./script/setup
Step_3 : Add this to /etc/wpantund.conf.
Config:NCP:SocketPath "/dev/ttyACM0"
Step_4 : Build and flash NCP on device and Attach the flashed NCP device to the Border Router platform via USB.
#file:images/nRF5_SDK_for_Thread_and_Zigbee_v4.1.0_32ce5f8/examples/thread/ncp/ftd/usb/hex
Step_5 : Verify that the NCP device is present.For example, if the device should be attached to /dev/ttyACM0
Step_6 : Restart system
Step_7 : Verify NCP
sudo wpanctl statusopen web browser type localhost.
I have done the OTBR setup with my NCP device by following the above steps I am able to ping NCP <--> Thread devices in network. But when i try to ping 64:ff9b::acd9:a46e i am unable to ping.
Is there any extra setup needed ? Or are there any docs for the same.
