You must have a BLE dongle, so that you can establish a BLE connection. And then use this as transport for IPv6 packets.

Thanks! I do not have a USB dongle. I just use my phone to detect the 48-bit address instead (00:6c:fd:70:4d:41), then when I initialize 6lowpan_control and try to connect, it shows: bash: echo: write error: No route to host. Am I must plug a Bluetooth dongle to connect the client device? On the other hand, is there any example for the udp-client and -server that the client can sniffer the adv. packet for the ipv6 address of the server and then connect to the specific ipv6 address itself? Thanks!

You need to find the device using hcitool lescan first. Do you have Bluetooth v4.0 USB dongle connected(Not a nRF5 DK)? Something like this. Then use the address of your device when you connect, not 00:AA:BB:CC:XX:YY:ZZ

I can find the BLE device using my phone with the adv of "UDP6_Client_Node". However, cause I can not connect the nRF5 DK under linux, so I wonder how to config and connect the DK under windows.

Yes, I have flash the IOT softdevice with 96kB size, and running the udp-client example on NRF5 DK. ANd yes, I am following the tutorial you said.

What tutorial are you looking at? This? Have you programmed a nRF5 DK with the IoT SoftDevice and one of the examples from the IoT SDK?
