Hi,

----- Mail original -----
> This sounds great! 

Indeed. I just gave it a try on IoT-LAB (only available on one of the 
development server for the moment) and it works very well. The 
gnrc_border_router application has to be built using a BAUDRATE of 500000 but 
otherwise there's nothing special to change.

From what I understand are you thinking of adding something like this:
iotlab-term:
        $(Q)sudo ethos_uhcpd.py $(M3HOST) $(TAP) $(IPV6_PREFIX)
?

Then it should be quite straightforward but not very useful since the command 
on its own is already very simple.
Besides that the <make term> command can already been used from A8 nodes.

Cheers,

Alex
