Hello,

I am following instructions here:
https://github.com/openthread/ot-nrf528xx/blob/main/src/nrf52840/README.md

note: it is not very clear here if one is supposed to follow the link to the GNU toolchain site and figure out on one's own how to install the toolchain or whether the subsequent steps are how to accomplish that.
Furthermore the instructions begin by changing directories into a repo that hasn't been cloned - there is no instruction which repo to clone, exactly.
instructions:
$ cd <path-to-ot-nrf528xx> 
$ ./script/bootstrap ```

 
returns
++ dirname ./script/bootstrap
+ ./script/../openthread/script/bootstrap
./script/bootstrap: line 32: ./script/../openthread/script/bootstrap: No such file or directory

You need to initialize the git submodule using the following command:

git submodule update --init

I'll update the READMEs to make this more clear.

thanks for the prompt response!

At this company we don't use git submodules and I have only experienced git here and with my own work and so I have never encountered those.

I am doing 100% fresh clones

maybe this path is wrong and should just read openthread, not ot-nrf528xx?

cd <path-to-ot-nrf528xx>
$ ./script/bootstrap

Here is the set of commands starting with git clone:

$ cd ot-nrf528xx
$ git submodule update --init
$ ./script/bootstrap
