IoT SDK - When to restart radvd when using multiple nRF52?

Hi, I use the following.

  • Raspberry Pi 3 (RPi3 with Raspbian Jessie 4.4) as a router,

RPi3 is connected to a Wi-Fi router to access the Internet by using the built-in Wi-Fi BLE BCM43438 chip.

  • IoT SDK 0.9

  • MQTT Publisher Example

  • PCA10040 v1.1

  • Keil MDK 5

I'm planning a project which uses multiple PCA10040 boards.

For instance, I'm about to use 4 PCA10040 and these will be connected to RPi3 which acts as a BLE enabled router.

Thanks to Stian's answer, I have connected one PCA10040 that uses MQTT publisher example.

After connecting to the PCA10040 kit, I typed

pi# service radvd restart

as informed.

So my questions are

  1. Do I have to restart radvd after every new connection?

For instance, I connected PCA10040 (A) and restarted radvd.

When I connect another PCA10040 (B), do I have to restarted radvd again?

  1. This question is also related to how many PCA10040 can be connected with the RPi3.

How many connections can the RPi3 can have with PCA10040s?
