Hi,

While connecting ot-cli-mtd to ot-rcp using ot-commissioner, using 
  > commissioner joiner add * J01NME

It gives the error: 
  > Invalid command 

Is there any method without using the mdns and eui64 of the joiner to join the commissioner in ot-rcp?

Can you provide more detail on your setup?

It's not clear to me whether you're trying to run the CLI on ot-cli-mtd, ot-rcp, or ot-commissioner.

Also, can you provide the build commands you used to build the firmware image?

Cloned the OTBR repository to the Raspberry Pi using :

successfully Installed the dependencies.
Attached the flashed RCP device(BRD4166A) to the Border Router platform via USB.  

checked the services and it was active :
  $ sudo systemctl status

Checked the RCP state :
$ sudo ot-ctl state 
  disabled 

OT Commissioner CLI setup
Cloned the OT Commissioner repository:  

installed the dependencies:
$ cd ot-commissioner $ ./script/bootstrap.sh

Built and installed the dependencies.

Then, using the ot-ctl  on the command line of OpenThread POSIX

$ sudo ot-ctl commissioner joiner add * J01NME
Error : InvalidCommand

But here when I enter the eui64 of the joiner  instead of  { * } it works ,Is there anyway I can avoid the eui64 and mdns setup for the commissioner to allow the joiner to join in the RCP setup like FTD-cli(  https://openthread.io/codelabs/openthread-simulation#3 ).

in Joiner device:
 > ifconfig up
Done

> joiner start J01NME

I believe your shell is expanding the '*'. Can you try putting the command in quotes so that your shell does not interpret the wildcard char?

For example:

sudo ot-ctl "commissioner joiner add * J01NME"

Thank you,  Jonathan Hui,
But the command worked after entering :

     sudo ot-ctl commissioner joiner add "*" J01NME

Yes, that works too to prevent expansion of wildcard character.
