Hi!

I'm using LEDE for TP-Link TL-WR1043ND v4, latest version, running:

Linux version 4.4.71 (buildbot@builds-02.infra.lede-project.org) (gcc version 5.4.0 (LEDE GCC 5.4.0 r3101-bce140e) ) #0 Wed Jun 7 19:24:41 2017

I try to connect in every way, but can't.

root@LEDE:~# echo "connect 00:46:5C:46:3D:11 1" > /sys/kernel/debug/bluetooth/6l
owpan_control
-ash: write error: Connection refused

Here's leinfo:

It works nicely. The dongle as you say isn't an issue. On my work computer it didn't work, but at home on my home computer, it works perfectly. However there is one difference between the two systems. At home I'm using the RedBearLab nano with 32kb of ram. Hcitool lescan detects the COAP server with no problems. At work I was unable to detect the COAP server, perhaps indicating it was not running.

Hello Paul!

Linux implementation of bluetooth_6lowpan module for debugfs has been changed since Kernel version 4.0.

So right now to establish connection with the nRF51 kit you should use below set of commands:

# Load 6LoWPAN module.
modprobe bluetooth_6lowpan

# Enable the bluetooth_6lowpan module.
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/bluetooth/6lowpan_enable

# Establish connection with device
echo "connect XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX 1" > /sys/kernel/debug/bluetooth/6lowpan_control

Please check documentation of our new release for nRF52 to get more details: nRF5 IoT SDK - Connecting devices to the router

Regarding to the BLE dongles issue - you should be able to use all dongles with Bluetooth 4.0 support.
