Hi Bernhard, we actually use this setup for testing of interoperability [1] but there are a few issues:
* Linux doesn't have full 6LoWPAN support yet (I never created the setup myself but only used a pre-setup Raspberry Pi, but as far as I know you still need to compile the kernel yourself) * Linux doesn't support 6LoWPAN-ND yet Also I don't know much about RPL on the Linux side, which you would need because usually the border router would take the position of the RPL root in a WPAN. Cheers, Martine [1] https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/wiki/How-to-install-6LoWPAN-Linux-Kernel-on-Raspberry-Pi 2016-03-04 18:05 GMT+01:00 Bernhard Nägele <bernh...@naegele-privat.de>: > Hello everyone, > just one thought about border-routers from a newbie: Why not using embedded > boards like Raspberry Pi for this purpose.
