cc is the command for connecting to classic bluetooth. However, in this case you want to connect using 6lowpan. Instructions on how to connect can be found here in the SDK documentation.

I figured out the problem of the broadcast. I didn't flash the dev kit with the soft device. Now that I have. I see it broadcasting but I cant connect to it with the command 'hcitool cc '.

Hi, I haven't tried to do this in WRT, but assume you can use hcitool?

E.g.,

$ sudo hcitool lescan

This should discover all ble devices within range, and report the device name togheter with the address. Then you can use the instructions given here to determine the ipv6 address.
