CC2538: Connecting to a local IPv6 network #625

Closed amirulmaricar closed 10 years ago

amirulmaricar commented 10 years ago

Hi, I have been playing around with a cc2538dk and have successfully been able to flash the device.

I attempted the "Build a 6LoWPAN Testbed" example and was successful in getting the border router and one RPL node up and running.

However, I was just wondering if it is possible to connect the cc2538 to a local ipv6 network through LAN(i'm running the cc2538dk through a SMARTRF06EB. I am aware that the nodes and the border router connect through each other in ipv6.

Warmest Regards, Amirul

If you're working with tunslip6, you'll need to route or tunnel the ip packets that arrive on your computer to where you want them to go manually.

For other border routers have a look at the Wiki: https://github.com/contiki-os/contiki/wiki#border-routers-and-gateways. The 6lbr project in particular sounds like it does what you want (with other hardware though): https://github.com/cetic/6lbr/

Thank you very much JelmerT!

I'll check out the 6lbr project :)
