Could you please explain a bit more about what you want to do, and what you have actually done? Do you have native IPv6 connectivity or are you setting up a simulated global network? Have you enabled IPv6 forwarding? How have you setup RADVD? Are you able to ping the nRF5 with link local address (ping6 –I bt0 fe80::211:22FF:FE33:4455)? Are you able to ping the nRF5 with global address (ping6 2005::211:22FF:FE33:4455)? Are you able to IPv6 ping the ubuntu PC from the RPi? Are you able to IPv6 ping the eth0 interface on the RPi from the ubuntu PC? Are you able to IPv6 ping the bt0 interface on the RPI from the ubunti PC? Please edit your question and explain what you have done.

Thanks very much for your answer.

I have followed the instructions of the file--IoT_SDK_step_by_step.pdf. I could ping ble_IoT_board from the 6LoWPAN edge router (use Rasp PI 3)successfully.

In the scenario:

ble_IoT_board <--> 6LoWPAN edge route

by using:

ping6 -I bt0 <ipv6-address>

But in the following scenario:

ble_IoT_board <--> 6LoWPAN edge route<--> remote ubuntu PC

How to ping ble_IoT_board from remote ubuntu PC? Is there any configuration guide ?

Best regards.

Essentially you configure RADVD to do this, you can have a look a the step by step guide for setting up ping using the IoT SDK for an idea of how this is done.

I am still confused. How to bridge bt0 and eth0? I can't ping6 bt0 from another device. thanks!

Hi,

This is not my specialty, but I think that this should be covered by this blogpost there's also this on building the kernel (but I guess you have seen that already).

Best regards,

Øyvind
